Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed

A lot-and-block legal description identifies land within a recorded subdivision plat, referencing a specific lot number, block number, map book, and page filed with the county recorder. It's the most common method for urban and suburban properties in Maryland.

Choices B and D represent metes-and-bounds and rectangular survey systems, respectively; A is simply a street address.

Haha, B sounds like something out of a mystery novel. I'm not a detective, so I'll skip that one.

Option A is just an address, not a lot-and-block description. Nice try, though!

I keep mixing up the terms. Is it possible that A could also be a lot-and-block description? I feel like I need to double-check that.

I practiced a question like this before, and I think lot-and-block descriptions usually reference a plat map. So, C seems like the right choice.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about lot and block being different from metes and bounds descriptions.

I think a lot-and-block description has to do with specific subdivisions, right? So maybe it's C?

I'm a little confused on this one. The wording in B sounds like it could be a lot-and-block description, but C also seems to fit that criteria. I'll have to make my best guess on this one.

I remember learning about lot-and-block descriptions in class. I'm pretty sure C is the right answer here, since it references a specific plat and map book.

I'm going with C. Lot and block descriptions are the way to go, in my opinion.

Okay, let me think this through. A and D don't seem to match the description, so I'm leaning towards either B or C. I'll have to re-read those options carefully.
