Lot and Block

Definition: Lot and block is a legal-description method that identifies a parcel by its lot and block within a recorded subdivision plat.

Example

A deed refers to Lot 8, Block C, Example Estates, with the plat book and page.

Keep the distinction clear

The recorded plat supplies the boundaries. A lot number without the subdivision and recording context may not identify the parcel uniquely.
