Someone, maybe it was Deral, posted on here sometime ago about a Google Earth type site that had property lines on it. Does anyone remember that or know of the site I'm referring to?
Thanks,
Phillip
Phillip,
Here's a link of what I believe may help get you in the right direction for answering your question. Hope this helps.

Phillip,
I have imported many things into my GE, but I would think that property lines have to be obtained locally, from the Prop Appr, for example.

WTF?
"property lines have to be obtained locally, from the Prop Appr, for example."
Are you kidding me?

Phillip,
Try Google maps regular, without aerial photos on. They have the property lines of my county overlaid onto those maps.
Google Maps of my house
Make sure you hit the "Map" button in the upper right hand corner of the screen to turn off aerial/satellite.
Or here's a screen cap of it: 
Or.... is this your house?

Any image can be overlaid on Google Earth... it can take a bit of stretching and twisting but it does work. A handy tool
This is a paper survey plat that I scanned from a property registration document.

"WTF?" you tell me
"Are you kidding me?" No.
Oddball Question for Mr. Ehlert
Is it eh-lert or ell-ert or ay-lert? A local family of Oehlert's pronounce it as "ay".
Oddball Answer from Mr. Ehlert
We have pronounced it with a silent H for 4 generations in the US... Ehlert
It is an Austrian name... so ay-lert is probably more "correct".
I don't know the origins of the Oehlert name... do you?
Google Earth PRO version had a layer for parcel maps. Then they removed it and made GE PRO free. Two weeks after I paid my $400 yearly subscription fee.

That timeline is not exactly accurate. It became free, then some time later, maybe a year, they removed the parcel lines.
the only timeline I gave was the time between re-upping my subscription and the end of GE Pro. but I digress.. who really cares. On the bright side, now we all know how to pronounce Peter's last name!!
I use this service for $35 per month

They probably realized that those parcel lines were basically not to any decent standards, so they made them vanish.
Just guessing,,,,,,,,,,,,
In Utah you can download the parcel map from the state GIS (AGRC). There is a lot of fiction with the parcel lines though.
There must be other ways also (phone APPs). Went out to do an easement survey last month. Client, buyer and needed easement signer all out at the site in the mountains. Both my client and the buyer had some phone app and were showing me the lines. I told them it wasn't all that accurate and I needed to do it my way with my instruments. I explained that (1) the base map (image) might not be positioned right (getting pretty good though), (2) the parcel map is record fiction for the most part (never made accurate by real survey) and (3) that phone GPS had a lot a slop in it and would change over time. They showed me the line where they had already built a road and put in water and power service. We hunted for a corner which we couldn't find in the tall brush on a mountainside.
So a few days later after I had used the data available from surveys and calculated some search points I returned. They were at least 15 feet off on the line and 30 feet off for the corner. The road and installed utilities were all on one lot instead of sort of a split between the two. The power and water hookup for the lot needing the easement were not on the lot (a few feet away). My search coordinates got me within a foot of the corners.
I think maybe I made believers out of them but not really expecting another call. Landowners for the most part will do anything to avoid survey costs. Folks think there is a free app for everything including land surveying.
