You should be able to get a plat map from the office of Troy's City Engineer, to have a rough idea of where your property lines are. You can also get a copy of a plat map from your County Administation Building. (In Cuyahoga County, as an example, the plat maps are located in a "Map Room" that is on the same floor as the County Recorder's Office.)
If you are thinking about cutting down any trees or bushes near your property line, I highly suggest that you obtain a formal survey from a local surveying company (the company will have engineers who certify that the lines on their drawing are correct).

Zillow doesn't offer surveys. they do have rough property lines on the map around your home, but I'd recommend getting a survey related to the definitions in your assessor's record before making major changes (such as trees near lot lines). (I've seen Zillow's line vary by several yards from the real lot lines, cutting a relative's house in half - not in agreement with the assessor's records).
Do you still offer a comparable property line survey similar to The County Auditors office?
