Among the many pictures of each listing there are often shots that show railings and fences. It is also interesting to note there is a lot of distortion in the photos, such as taking long shots with wide angle settings. It's difficult to judge true dimensions from those photos. Knowing the measures of those railing and fence units, we can estimate the size of the lots.

From your note, you are looking to find lot dimensions and size. If so, check the appropriate County Property Assessor website. I checked Sumter County where I live. You can enter Owners Name or the property address. Click on parcel details and you will get data such as the property size in acres. Then click on the property sketch showing lot lines and house outline. By selectively clicking on the zoom in feature you will get a zoomed in picture with a scale list as to xft per i inch on the lot sketch. For my house I could zoom into about 12.5 ft per inch when the house gets fuzzy but the lot lines remain sharp. Just measure what you are interested in on the screen and calculate the length. In your case measure the whole fence assuming that it is the lot line and calculate each straight line and you would have a reasonable estimate of the lot line dimensions.
