Other uses of Lot and Block survey systemPosted on:3/29/2006
| A type of the Lot and Block system us frequently used for tax identification purposes in the United States. |
A type of the Lot and Block system us frequently used for tax identification purposes in the United States. This designation, often called a Tax Identification Number or Tax Parcel Number, is not directly based on the legal description of the property. Such tracking could easily become cumbersome and confusing. Often a separate identifier is used to track the property for the purposes of real estate taxation. Counties and local governments often keep track of real estate properties by systems based on the Lot and Block system.
The system can be used even if the property is not legally described by the Block and Lot system. A property legally described by a metes and bounds description may be still be assigned a Tax Identification Number based on a separate Lot and Block system. In this case, a survey of all parcels in the county or municipality would be combined to create a separate Block and Lot system to identify the properties for taxation purposes. For example, a metes and bounds described parcel may be assigned the Tax Identification Number 14-55-118, which has nothing to do with the legal description of the property recorded in the deed other than its use to create the tax Block and Lot maps. In this case, the first number may be used to indicated the local municipality, the second number indicates the tax map on which the property is recorded, and the third number is the parcel identification number on the indicated map. A similar system might be Tax Identification Number 205-K-33 where "205" is the map book volume number, "K" is the individual map, and "33" is the parcel number.
