What is the difference between assemblage and plottage?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Assemblage: The process of combining two or more adjacent parcels of land into one larger parcel.

Plottage: The increase in value that results from assemblage due to the greater utility or economic use of the combined parcel.

Example: Two small lots may be worth $50,000 each separately, but if assembled into one larger parcel, the combined property may be worth $120,000 due to increased development potential.

Nope, plottage is definitely the value increase after assemblage.

I thought assemblage was just for new subdivisions, not just any land!

Wait, isn't plottage just a fancy term for land value increase?

Wait, so plottage isn't about splitting land? That seems off.

I thought assemblage was just about the physical act of combining parcels, but I can't recall if plottage is just about value or also involves some kind of development.

I feel like I mixed up the terms before; isn't plottage related to the benefits of combining land?

I think I saw a practice question where they mentioned assemblage leading to higher value, so maybe D is the right choice?

I remember studying that assemblage is about combining land, but I'm not sure if plottage is just about value increase or something else.
