Another add on to the Preamble question I asked yesterday.
How many of you use boundary vs. boundary line vs. line in your bound calls?
"200' north to the south boundary of the Smith parcel"
"........to the south boundary line......."
"........to the south line........"
...to the South line of Jones, as described in...

"........to the south line of the Smith parcel per deed book 10, page 200, said county deed records........"
Or something like that. I want the recorded deed information listed if Im calling to a line of it. I typically will only have it once for the first time it's called too, then, "...along said south line B & D to...", or "...along the south, west and north line of said Smith parcel the following three courses:...."
Yes, but why "line" over "boundary" or "boundary line"?
Is it a matter of semantics or does it really matter as long as it gets the point across?
yes, in California we usually don't use the word "boundary," just "line."
south line of XX O.R. XXX
south line of Smith Street.
etc.

Just the opposite here. I prefer to not use the word "line" and use more descriptive terms such as "boundary," "right of way," etc.

"... to the south boundary of Smith; thence along said south boundary the following four (4) courses: (1) West 300.00 feet, (2) thence westerly along a 100.00-foot curve to the right through a central angle of 45 degrees ..."
Wouldn't work if I called it a " boundary line."
JBS
" to the south boundary " of Jo's BBQ
" to the south margin " when there is no change in ownership occuring
" to the south right of way" on highways and railroads, etc that depict a change of ownership to a transportation entity
a line is invisible and straight from one point to another point
a boundary follows a path defined by a change in ownership of property and/or the original footsteps - some of those are not straight

Neither
we usually say, Along land of Smith....
'Round here there are some subtle differences that you may intend with those fancy LINE words.
By the line of the way puts you to the sideline of the way. By the way puts you to the centerline of a private way unless the fee in the way is otherwise defined.
not boundary
Usually we are going to something like: the south section line or the westerly right-of-way line of XX Railroad, even if what we are going to is curved. We do not say: south section boundary line. We would say: to the north line of the Smith Tract as described in Deed Book XXX, page YYY.
