Description by Lot and Block

The lot and block method  is used to identify lots where single family subdivisions have been recorded in the public records.            
 
The lot and block method can only be used where plat maps have been recorded in the public records (also called plat method, description by recorded plat, or description by recorded map)

The platted subdivision is divided into large areas called blocks, and each block is subdivided into smaller areas called lots.
     -The lots are usually numbered to identifying them.

If the lots are numbered, the blocks may be assigned letters to eliminate confusing block numbers with lot numbers, such as "Lot 5, block B of Glendale Estate Subdivision"
