Admittedly I spent a half-hour on this, so I thought I would ask for help. Being very ahead of the time I wanted to record how much property we have since at some point we would hand it over to our daughter. I was hoping to translate that to acres, but no luck so far. Any help would be appreciated.

@roddiesho

Are you talking about construction or land? Usually measured in square meters, or acres and hectares for larger areas of land.

08/20/25 @roddiesho.聽 Here's the formula to convert hectares to acres, and a converter:

There are links at the bottom of the page for converting other common measures between SI and US Traditional.

If the Escritura for the property shows an area in hectares, try converting that.聽 If it doesn't show an area in hectares, or there is no Escritura, or you don't trust it, then I'd hire a professional to measure it.聽 If you want to tackle it as a DIY project, my suggestion would be to get yourself a cheap laser distance meter ("trena laser"), stake the lot you want to measure, and take the measurements yourself; you should be able to read the area off the trena under good measurement conditions.聽 If it's odd-shaped, stake it off in rectangles, measure the rectangles, and add them together.聽聽That should get you聽 close enough.
