Have a surveyor do a stake survey to show the property lines. It will cost a few hundred dollars in the city, or up to a few thousand dollars for a rural property. The surveyor must usually find the deeds that reference and define your property and those of your neighbors and make a determination of where your property lines are. Depending upon how your property is defined, your lines may be very difficult to locate exactly, if not impossible (e.g., "from the large birch tree to the pile of stones", neither of which can be found 50 years later). When neither you nor your neighbors can find the lines, you can establish a "new" line by agreement and record that with the deeds for future reference.

When attempting to locate lines for a new fence, some jurisdictions require consultation with the official "fence viewer" who will help establish the line, if there is a dispute.

Who owns the space in between 2 fences?

Somewhere in between the two spaces is the property line. You need to review the deeds for both properties, any recorded surveys and the assessors maps that show the properties. Regardless of the placement of fences the distances of property lines are generally given in feet. Forget about where the fences are placed and study the deed descriptions. If necessary, a registered surveyor can determine where the property line is and will mark it with iron rods.Somewhere in between the two spaces is the property line.
