Lot and Block on a plat map is a form of legal description that uses lot and block designations.

• A. Lot and Block
• B. Metes and Bounds
• C. Rectangular Government Survey
• D. Abstract of Title

Answer: (A)

The Lot and Block system uses plat maps to describe parcels by identifying the lot number within a specific block of a subdivision. This method is tied to a recorded plat, which lays out the subdivision and assigns each lot a unique number within a given block, often referenced along with the subdivision name and the plat’s recording details. That direct use of lot and block designations is what the statement describes. Metes and bounds describes property by precise directions and distances, without relying on a plat’s lot-and-block framework, and the Rectangular Government Survey divides land into a grid of townships and sections rather than modern subdivisions. An abstract of title summarizes ownership history, not the parcel’s location.
