Have you ever come across a property you are trying to figure out the lot size but you don't have it readily available or the lot size is irregular? Here is a quick and free tool to use that can give you the size of any lot nationally or internationally, FindLotSize.com!

This tool is extremely easy to use and interfaces with a Google map. Enter the address you are trying to get the information on. Then the site will show a Google map above the subject property. Zoom in so you can get a good view of the property. Click on one corner of the property, there will be a blue pin placed where you clicked. Then go to the next corner of the property, click again. This will put another pin in place and create a line from pin to pin. Keep doing this around the perimeter of the property. Eventually you will get the entire property outlined and highlighted. At the very bottom you will see the dimensions for the lot size.

Great quick and easy tool to use!

Like a lot of things, it doesn't work for my area. When I put in my address it called up the map, but I can't zoom in far enough top "click the lot lines".

Leslie- I just went in and pulled up Payson I see what you are talking about where it doesn't let you zoom in to the closest zoom. I did try however to figure the size by utilizing the pins at the closest zoom it allows. And if you can actually see the lots you can do it. I tried it with a property that I could see the lot and it worked. Try it that way and see if it works, I know in Payson it can be rural in some areas so it might now work where it is hard to see the lots but may work on some properties where you can actually see the lots at the closest zoom it allows. I did try it at our property in Show Low and it worked not sure why Payson doesn't come up.

Skye, Good tip. I appreciate all of your tip blogs. Although I live in Eugene, I'm a Phoenix native and remember when Fountain Hills was an unbelievably long distance from Phoenix over mostly dirt roads. We'd go through the area on our way to go tubing down the Salt River. That was well before Salt River Recreation was in operation.

Thank you Rick! I appreciate the comment. My family has been coming to Fountain Hills for about 25 years or so. I moved here almost 11 years ago, even in the time I have been here it has changed dramatically. The drive into Phoenix is actually not bad now, I can get all the way across town in about 45 or so. The drive to Scottsdale is about 10-15 minutes depending on where you are going.
