How accurate is the land measurement tool?

Land area and distance measurements in AcreBound are estimates based on map coordinates. They are not survey-grade measurements and should not be used for legal, construction, or official acreage purposes. Accuracy depends on map projection and scale.

Can I measure acreage of any shape?

Yes. You can draw a custom polygon of any shape on the map and AcreBound will estimate the enclosed area in acres.

Can I measure fence lines with AcreBound?

You can estimate fence line length by drawing a line along the approximate boundary or route. This provides a rough estimate — always verify with a professional for actual fence installation.

Is the measurement tool available in the free tier?

Area and perimeter measurement tools are AcreBound Pro features. The free tier provides basic parcel map access.

Can I measure land in square feet instead of acres?

AcreBound displays area in acres. The conversion is 1 acre = 43,560 square feet if you need that reference.
