Anybody know how property lines get reconciled after a fault slip like this?

  Depends on the country, obviously. This videos was taken in Myanmar, so ask a real estate lawyer in Myanmar. Around here most boundaries are based on landmarks and other boundaries. If the land shifts horizontally then so do all or most of the borders.

    Somewhat ironic that you start by acknowledging that it will be different depending what country you're in, and then write an anecdote on a website used by an international audience saying "around here" with no mention of what "here" means to you! (Well, ironic is the wrong word unless you're Alanis Morrisette, but you know what I mean)

      Since the rules vary, my location doesn’t really matter; you’re going to have to find out for sure what the rules are in your jurisdiction anyway.

  In New Zealand we use a special local coordinate system NZGD2000 that accounts for both tectonic drift and one-off Earthquake slip events. The numerical coordinate values stay the same but their mapping to real world positions change over time. Hence the coordinate converter requires date as a parameter: https://www.geodesy.linz.govt.nz/concord/ https://www.geodesy.linz.govt.nz/concord/ https://www.linz.govt.nz/guidance/survey/earthquakes/kaikoura-earthquakes/kaikoura-earthquake-coordinate-update https://www.linz.govt.nz/guidance/survey/earthquakes/kaikour...
