How deep does my property go?

Question

I have a house on 2 acres. I know the length and width of my property, but what about depth? If I dig 1ft down am I still on my property? 5ft? 1000ft? A 2 acre rectangle all the way to the Earths core? How deep would I have to go to no longer be on my own land?

Answer 1

In many places, the depth of your property will be stated on the title or the disclosures. If memory serves, mine is good to a depth of 200’ or so, explicitly designed to exclude rights to groundwater or deeply buried minerals.
