Thank you for creating AND sharing this video with us, Amy! I found it easy to understand and very helpful. It is something I can and will use, starting today!
Thank you so much! I had been layering boundary lines from the tax office over images downloaded from google earth in a photo editing software. This will save me HOURS!
For my bar Mitzvah project, I chose to help a park in Oakland be more cared for. The people in the neighborhood asked me to design a map of the park with layers and details that you can toggle on or off. I couldn’t decide which program to use so my dad, Adam Weiss, looked up good programs that I can use. He came across this video and we checked it out and it helped us so much. While we were watching the video, my dad looked at who posted this video. Amy Grotta. It turns out that not only did you make an incredibly useful video, but my dad also happens to know you. Thank you so much for making this video and it helped a lot.
Thank you so much! I had been struggling trying to figure out the property line on the satellite map. I don't know why maps can't overlay it directly. But your method is awesome and worked well.
Amy, I've been growling for some time. My GPS, the county site and the Lat/Long formats allowed, and the interface are really difficult with Maps. Dang. I'm a technical guy but what should be simple and intuitive is beyond comprehension and the help is benign. Maybe my county doesn't contribute property lines but there are no little green lines for parcels. Trying to input Lat/Long points is incomprehensible - they are rejected, regardless of filter tools for format. And how can one delete previous markers done manually? Still trying that effort. Arrgh.
Your video is great.... It Will help me big time however I don’t get the light gray lines for the property boundaries..... Is there some kind of setting that needs to be turned on or is it just not provided by the County?
Just a caution: tax boundary information is nor necessarily actual ownership boundary. Some say "close enough for government work" but if you want it to hold legal weight, you must rely on the original deed(s).
Excellent video - I was wondering what software you use for your gps points on your cell phone - also are the extension of those files -Many thanks in advance
Beneficial video - thanks. The only problem I had recreating it the faint gray tax boundary lines. Doesn't matter what map or part of the country I zoom in on, I can't get it to do that.
DO it on satellite view and use measure distance feature. The gray lines are lot lines and can be copied with screen print or you can name the map and save it.
The tutorial was very helpful, Amy! A little doubt though. The area of the polygon is shown in acres and mine shows in hectare. I am unable to change It to acres or any other annotation other than hectare. Could you please show how it could be done? Much help.
Thank you. This looks like a very useful feature. Unfortunately, it appears Google has removed it sometime prior to this comment (March 2024). C'est la vie!
Thank you, now how do you save it, or lock it from being edited again coz any slight mistake of change by any shared viewers results in changing the whole map. So how can I save my map? And if editing, only myself to do that. Thank you otherwise I created mine too. From a scratch ❤ love you ❤️ 🙂 😘
I'm trying to embed my created map to my website. When I click the three dots in the upper right portion of my created map title, then click embed on my site", I get a window that tells me that my map is not public. I don't get the "Sharing settings" page at 8:42 like you got? Instead, I get a small box that's titled "Share with people and groups". I click change settings and it shows "Public". What gives?
Googlemaps has my property offset from the actual location. This may be due to the fact that I live on a dirt portion of the road and the Google mapping car does not or did not go 150' past the paved intersection. Also after following the directions you provide, I do not see any tax lines for my or any of the adjacent properties. I am in NC. Any ideas? Thank you for a very interesting video.
Iam failing to acquire a farm design or plan(that is where to put infrustures such as roads and buildings and which buildings to build first). I am requesting your help in coming up with the ideal plan and design. Thank you
Is it marked for public as well? For example you want to add blocks or sectors of an area and label them as block A, B, C and so on. Will it be done publicly and be helpful for people?
Hi amygrotta your tutorial is excellant. I am following a similiar exercise to yours outlining a property but when I click layers and satellite view, there are already unwanted markers on my google map. How do I remove these unwanted markers please. Thanks in advance.
This is what is frustrating about youtube videos, rarely do you get a video that is accurate and helps you. I have been trying to get clean maps that show just the property lines boundaries etc just like what you see in the intro in your video. I logged on Google Earth Pro and do not see a map options tab like in this video.I tried to do a screenshot to illustrate but dip %^%&^% youtube doesn't seem to have an option to attach files go figure.
Thank you for creating AND sharing this video with us, Amy! I found it easy to understand and very helpful. It is something I can and will use, starting today!
I had a huge task to plot an area and shade it, you instructions was extremely articulate, thank you!
super helpful. You're a great example for others on how to clearly articulate information and instructions

Zach, what a small world! Congratulations on your Bar Mitzvah and say Hi to your Dad from me!
Great, quick, tutorial. I'm eager to give it a try. Thanks!

Your video is great.... It Will help me big time however I don’t get the light gray lines for the property boundaries..... Is there some kind of setting that needs to be turned on or is it just not provided by the County?
Thanks for your tutorial! How can I change the owner for the map, so that the new owner could change the map?
excellent tutorial. So very helpful.
Great info. I agree with Miles West about vocal fry. I watched it mostly muted.
Just a caution: tax boundary information is nor necessarily actual ownership boundary.
Some say "close enough for government work" but if you want it to hold legal weight, you must rely on the original deed(s).
I have this exact problem! My driveway is not on my land according to tax lot info.
Excellent video - I was wondering what software you use for your gps points on your cell phone - also are the extension of those files -Many thanks in advance
Thank you for this nice tutorial. How can i add the map so it can be viewed by all.
How do you get the property lines in the map?
Thank you very much. It will be helpful for my app development.
Very helpful.
Thanku so much for sharing this information
Waaawooo Great ,, Thank you
Your are one smart lady! 👍
Beneficial video - thanks. The only problem I had recreating it the faint gray tax boundary lines. Doesn't matter what map or part of the country I zoom in on, I can't get it to do that.
DO it on satellite view and use measure distance feature. The gray lines are lot lines and can be copied with screen print or you can name the map and save it.
Will this show the streets on the property when you print it out
Good job👍
I am from India
Now I have worked on gis department but I doubt how to create and connect a vertex edge
If I make a property boundary will it show up on my phone’s map as well?
THANK YOU!
Very useful. thanks
Very useful. Thank you Amy. Well presented
The tutorial was very helpful, Amy! A little doubt though. The area of the polygon is shown in acres and mine shows in hectare. I am unable to change It to acres or any other annotation other than hectare. Could you please show how it could be done? Much help.
That would be google localizer bot.
thank you a lot
Can you see what was edited and when, if the maps is edited? Where do you find the history of the edits?
we cant set a specific scale for the my maps ? also it doesnt show the scale value to you at rhs bottom
Tax boundaries don't show regardless how far zoom in or out, yet they show in Zillow. Please help.
Thanks! :)
Can this boundary line be shown publicly on Google maps ?
Superb
Good video. How can I make my base map my county GSI MAP so I will have owners names and property lines?
Thank you. This looks like a very useful feature. Unfortunately, it appears Google has removed it sometime prior to this comment (March 2024). C'est la vie!
Thank you, now how do you save it, or lock it from being edited again coz any slight mistake of change by any shared viewers results in changing the whole map.
So how can I save my map? And if editing, only myself to do that. Thank you otherwise I created mine too. From a scratch ❤ love you ❤️ 🙂 😘
How did you convert hectares to acres?
This seems to give only a close approximation. At least in rural Eastern Nevada County, CA the tax line maps are very inaccurate.

Great video.. can you please tell how to embd the our own created map on wordpress realestate website
can we figure out the construction exact coordinates with an app?
Now I just need to know how to submit this to google as a location so when people search for it they find it.
Googlemaps has my property offset from the actual location. This may be due to the fact that I live on a dirt portion of the road and the Google mapping car does not or did not go 150' past the paved intersection. Also after following the directions you provide, I do not see any tax lines for my or any of the adjacent properties. I am in NC. Any ideas? Thank you for a very interesting video.
Could you work from your county's GIS map?
Google Maps doesn't show property lines in my area. :(
Did you figure this out? I am trying to shade multiple county lines. I know the info exists, click on view in google maps and it is shaded.
after you create the map is it public or ony u can see it? and can u share it? thanks
Now I can help the micronation I'm in to have actual land.
I love it!!!
Do you know how to remove the standard google points that show up on maps?
I was looking for a question
How to download the map I marked
Can you answer this question?
Hi Amy, what gps app do you use on your phone?
Can I upload an image on the selected coordinates/area?
The tax lot boundaries do not display. I'm using an iMac desktop / Firefox as my browser. Rural NW Arkansas property.
Iam failing to acquire a farm design or plan(that is where to put infrustures such as roads and buildings and which buildings to build first). I am requesting your help in coming up with the ideal plan and design. Thank you
All tax line boundries are off by at least 20 feet and in Ohio usually 20 feet on the right Left/Right borders ...
Can I make it public for everyone to see when the type the name of my property on Google map?
Is it marked for public as well? For example you want to add blocks or sectors of an area and label them as block A, B, C and so on. Will it be done publicly and be helpful for people?
Same question.....If you find the solution then reply me bro
After we color on hover can we see the city name, if so how to do
Thank you
Your vice 🔥
How can I add my colony with borderline in Google Map...

Hi amygrotta your tutorial is excellant. I am following a similiar exercise to yours outlining a property but when I click layers and satellite view, there are already unwanted markers on my google map. How do I remove these unwanted markers please. Thanks in advance.
how would you know where the property line is ?
Thanks for sharing. Keep in mind such maps are not made in Google Maps but in what is called "Google My Maps".
This looks really good, but it needs updating. I'm not finding many of the commands you reference.

Hi Amy, are you familiar with land development property noticing business?
Nice video Thank you!!. Constructive criticism....Google why 'vocal fry' drives people crazy.
I find vocal fry very sexy
i find it incredibly annoying
How is that constructive?
No matter how I zoom in I cannot see any tax property lines in Northern Wisconsin
how to add a country? :/
