Importing the boundary first saved the most time. I could start planning the house placement without tracing the parcel from a screenshot.
Cadastral import
Property line map by parcel number
Import a property boundary from cadastral or parcel data, then add the house, well, septic and dimensions.
Examples of property boundary maps
Create a property boundary map from parcel data
A property line map online is most useful when it begins with real parcel geometry. Gardmi lets you enter a cadastral or parcel number, import the property boundary when data is available and continue editing the plot in the browser.
Use the preset when you need a fast cadastral map, a property boundary map for planning, or a clean starting point before placing a house, well, septic system, fence, paths and garden zones.
User reviews
The cadastral preset made the plan feel much more grounded because the lot shape was there from the beginning.
I used it to compare the house, driveway and septic options on the same property line map.
Advantages
Boundary import first
Start from cadastral or parcel data when the boundary can be loaded.
Editable after import
Move, label and measure objects after the property line map is created.
Planning context
Add buildings, utilities, zones and notes on top of the same parcel outline.
Shareable project
Keep the plan online and share a link instead of sending static screenshots back and forth.
How it works
- Enter a cadastral or parcel number in the form.
- Gardmi opens the editor and tries to load the matching property boundary.
- If the boundary is found, use it as the starting plot outline.
- Add the house, fence, well, septic, paths, planting zones and dimensions.
- Save, export or share the editable site plan.
Use cases
Early site planning
Check how a house, driveway and service zones fit before detailed design starts.
Boundary-aware garden layout
Plan planting beds, paths and fences while seeing the actual parcel shape.
Contractor discussion
Share a simple property line map so contractors understand the site context faster.
Recommendations before planning
- Treat imported cadastral geometry as a planning base, not as a legal survey.
- Check local data quality if the parcel has recently changed or been subdivided.
- Add visible dimensions and labels before sending the plan to a contractor.
- Use a measured survey for legal boundary disputes, construction staking or final permit submission when required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make a property line map by parcel number?
Yes, when parcel or cadastral data is available for the location. Gardmi uses the number as a fast starting point and opens an editable plan around the imported boundary.
Is an imported cadastral map legally binding?
No. It is useful for planning and communication, but it does not replace an official survey or legal boundary determination.
What can I add after importing the property boundary?
You can add buildings, fences, wells, septic systems, distance labels, notes, zones and printable frames.
What happens if the parcel boundary is not found?
You can still create a blank plan and draw the plot manually, then continue with the same editor tools.
