How to find your property boundary in Victoria

Search a Victorian street address on MapMyLot and the Vicmap Property boundary appears on the map with its land area and perimeter. It is free: five lookups a day, no account and no lot or plan number. If you want a PDF for that lot, a one-off report costs A$19.99 and adds the flood, bushfire, heritage, zoning and easement answers for the lot; the map itself never needs one.

How to find your boundary in Victoria

Victorian land is recorded by lot and plan - for example Lot 1 on PS123456, where PS marks a plan of subdivision and older plans use prefixes such as LP or TP - and that reference sits on the Certificate of Title, not on a rates notice or a listing. MapMyLot searches Victoria by street address instead: type the address, choose the matching result, and the parcel from Vicmap Property is highlighted on satellite or street view. If you only have a lot and plan, LASSI can find the land from that reference.

What you get free, and what is in the report

A free search shows the boundary, land area in square metres and hectares, and perimeter in metres. Where the lot falls inside covered data, it also shows a 0-100 constraint score, how the lot size compares with the suburb, and straight-line distances from the full boundary to the nearest high-voltage power line, the coast, the nearest park and waterways, plus the Protected Areas and agricultural land layers.

Is there a free PDF? No: the map is free, and the PDF is the paid part. A one-off report for a single lot costs A$19.99 and needs no account. It maps every side of the boundary with its length, names each constraint found on the lot - flood, bushfire, heritage, zoning, easements, electricity and coastal hazard, where mapped - on its own page, and adds the unconstrained area. MapMyLot Pro, at A$29.99 a month, removes the daily limit, shows those layers live on the map, and includes reports for every lot you check. Compare the options.

Vicmap versus a street address search

Vicmap Property is the underlying cadastral dataset. Viewers such as LASSI, MapshareVic and MapMyLot can show it from an address search, so a title reference is not a prerequisite for a visual check. Vicmap cadastral data is refreshed on the state's own update schedule, so a very recent subdivision may take time to appear: if a search returns no boundary for a brand-new lot, the plan has usually not reached the dataset yet.

LASSI, MapshareVic and VicPlan: when to use them

• LASSI and SPEAR: survey marks, plan searches and subdivision applications. Use them when a surveyor, a lot and plan reference or a plan lodgement is involved. See LASSI compared with an address search.
• MapshareVic: public land, forests, parks and water layers for land management. See MapshareVic compared with an address search.
• VicPlan: the planning scheme zones and overlays that decide what you can build. Use it, and the council, to confirm the rules for a proposal.
• MapMyLot: the boundary, size and distances for an address in seconds, with the report when you need the constraint answers in writing. See how Vicmap Property data is used.

Check the accuracy for your decision

Vicmap Property's official product information describes variable spatial accuracy. Displaying a precise number does not make the parcel a survey. Confirm the highlighted parcel is the one you meant, compare its mapped size and shape with the listing or your documents, and investigate any difference before relying on it.

Note: for a legally binding boundary determination - for example to resolve a fence line dispute or confirm a setback - engage a registered surveyor licensed in Victoria. Reports are informational and do not replace a survey or title search.
