I'd say anything that is observable on the ground is fine to map. So if 
there's a fence around a parcel or some other demarcation then you can 
add it, but if it's just a line in some government database then don't - 
because it wouldn't make sense for mappers to edit it anyway, and stuff 
that is only used for reference when mapping should be a background 
layer in your editor and not part of the OSM database.

Bye
