Lot and Block Description

A lot and block description in real estate is a method of legally describing land that references specific parcels within a recorded subdivision. This description identifies a piece of property by its designated lot number and the block in which it is situated, as detailed on a subdivision plat map filed with the local government. The plat map provides a detailed layout of the subdivision, including streets, easements, and individual lot boundaries. Lot and block descriptions offer a clear, straightforward way to identify and convey property in developed areas, ensuring accuracy and consistency in property records, deeds, and legal documents.
