How would one go about determining the exact property lines of a home?

I want to do start some work and before I do, I'd like to be able to stake out the exact limits of my property.

Can you just hire a surveyor who will research the City records then come to mark with stakes or similar?


Or is there a way to do this from your deed or the County Assessors site?

I would think GPS enters in here somehow.


TIA!
