Langley City’s interactive map shows if your hedge is on your property, and what our community looked like in 2004.

From time-to-time, I receive questions from residents in Langley City about property lines and right-of-ways. As an example, some people have asked questions about whether hedges or trees were on their property, their neighbour’s property, or public property. In other cases, people have asked similar questions around fences and walkways.

Langley City provides an online interactive map which can answer these questions. The map includes up-to-date aerial imagery, property dimensions, right-of-ways, and easements. It also includes other features such as the location of water, sewer, and storm sewer lines. There is information about the parks system and trail network. Also useful is information on zoning. If you are really interested, you can even find out about the location of every City-owned streetlight!

All this information can be layered onto the interactive map by selecting “I want to…” then selecting “Change visible map layers.”

One of the other things that I like about this map is that it has historical aerial imagery that dates to 2004. The following images show certain areas of Langley City with current imagery, and imagery from 2004.
