State-of-the-art neural network verifiers evaluate linear relaxations over axis-aligned bounding boxes. However, verification domains in cyber-physical systems are rarely boxes. Reachability specifications, obstacle-avoidance constraints, and neural Lyapunov certificates typically yield oblique or non-convex polyhedral regions, over which box-based bounds become extremely loose. This paper proposes Fit-LRP (Fitting Linear Relaxations to Polytopes), a framework the implements exact optimization of affine bounds over non-convex domains (represented by unions of polytopes) by solving a sequence of small, low-dimensional linear programs. Our approach seamlessly enhances the final optimization step of LiRPA and $α,\! β$-CROWN branch-and-bound (BaB) algorithms. In BaB verification, approximating oblique constraints with axis-aligned splits causes severe combinatorial blowup and risks non-termination. By optimizing the final affine bound of a nonlinear function over the exact polyhedral state-space constraints our method eliminates box-induced over-approximations, enabling earlier search-tree pruning. On ARCH-COMP and neural Lyapunov benchmarks, Fit-LRP reduces branching on the hardest region by $47\times$, cuts worst-case verification time by $15\times$, and with region-wise partitioning, verifies on a single CPU $6.1\times$ faster than $α,\! β$-CROWN on a GPU.
