Which term denotes the description of a land parcel with boundary directions and distances, along with notes of adjacent owners and lot numbers?

• A. Metes and Bounds
• B. Metes and Bound
• C. Boundary Description
• D. Lot Description

Answer: (B)

Metes and bounds describes a land parcel by boundary directions and distances, often including notes of adjacent owners and lot numbers to fix the location in relation to neighboring properties. It starts at a definite point of beginning and then documents each boundary with its direction and length until it closes the loop. The plural form metes and bounds is the standard term for this surveying method; the singular form isn’t used in legal descriptions. Other terms like boundary description or lot description are broader and do not specify the surveying technique used.
