If by "property limit" it is meant what personal and real property can be exempted from bankruptcy, that is determined by the type of bankruptcy you must file, federal or state. To discover what the type and amount of property one is allowed to exempt you can search federal bankruptcy exemptions or (name of state) bankruptcy exemptions; in a few states the person can choose to use either set of exemptions or a combination thereof.
