+Stinson HQ Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I am about to place my first geocache and would like to know if anyone knows of an on-line tool that I can use to easily determine if a set of coordinates is on private or public property. I e-mailed Groundspeak, but they said they don't know of one. If it makes any difference, I am in the Seattle area. Quote
+briansnat Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Google maps now show property boundaries. It won't tell you which are private and which are public, but it can help. Quote

+seldon Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Some counties have their property maps online, so you easily find out who owns what property. Check out your county website to see if you are one of the lucky ones to have this tool available. Edit - oops, looks like I was beaten to the punch. Edited December 2, 2009 by seldon Quote

+brslk Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Look on your cities website and look for property taxes. That will usually show who owns the property. Quote
