Values
See below for the main values of the boundary key:
| Key | Value | Element | Comment | Rendering | Photo | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| boundary | administrative | 
|
An administrative boundary. Subdivisions of areas/territories/jurisdictions recognised by governments or other organisations for administrative purposes.

 | |
| boundary | historic | 
|
Historic administrative boundaries, temporarily kept in OSM, along with start_date=* and end_date=* to specify dates of effect. Requires an additional admin_level=*. | |||
| boundary | maritime |
|
Maritime boundaries | |||
| boundary | national_park |
|
Area of outstanding natural beauty, set aside for conservation and for recreation (Other languages). |  |
 | |
| boundary | political |
|
Electoral boundaries | |||
| boundary | postal_code |

All commonly used values according to Taginfo | |||
Attributes | ||||||
| admin_level | (number) |
|
Applies to boundary=administrative and is usually in the range 1 to 10, except for Germany where it might be 11 – see boundary. | |||
| border_type | * |
|
To distinguish between types of boundary where admin_level isn't enough. Used in several different ways e.g in maritime contexts. | |||
| start_date | (date) |
|
Useful if there are competing historic boundaries or the boundary is very recent (or if it will become effective in a near future) and if keeping previous boundaries are still needed separately (including for statistical maps that are based on older boundaries). | |||
| end_date | (date) |
|
Should be specified for all historic boundaries, or boundaries that will soon become ineffective (and possibly replaced by others) e.g. for administrative territorial subdivision reforms. | |||
| fire_boundary | yes |
|
Tag fire_boundary used to mark the boundaries of the areas of fire brigades out within the project Karta01. | |||
