# How do I set my default unit system?

You can set your household's default unit system in **Household Settings** by choosing either **US (Imperial)** or **Metric** units.

This setting serves as the default across your account but can be customized for individual properties when needed.

For individual properties, you can configure:

- Property and Zone **Size** to display in either **square feet (sq ft)** or **square meters (m²)**
- **Lot Size** to display in either **acres** or **hectares**

This flexibility allows you to maintain a consistent unit system across your account while accommodating the specific needs of individual properties.
