About Metes and Bounds
Metes and Bounds is a comprehensive land plotting software developed by Sandy Knoll Software, LLC, designed to transform metes and bounds data into precise deed plot maps. Available for Windows, Mac, and iOS platforms, it caters to professionals such as landmen, realtors, homeowners, genealogists, and legal experts. The software offers an intuitive data entry system, allowing users to input lines, curves, azimuths, compass points, and section calls through a convenient form or freehand entry. It can automatically generate plots from legal descriptions by extracting calls via the Deed Cleanup Tool. Users can enhance their plots with scalable background images, set using World Files, and manage multiple deed layers within a single drawing, either free-floating or anchored to a common starting point. The software calculates closure errors, provides the necessary call to close plots.
