Property Legal Descriptions
Method of establishing legal description and location of properties
3 basic systems– metes & bounds– rectangular system– lot & block

Metes and Bounds
Measurements and boundaries used to identify the perimeters of any property.– metes commonly measured in feet– boundaries established as bearings

Metes and Bounds
Bearings are directions with reference to one of the quadrants of the compass– 360 degrees in a circle– 90 degrees in a quadrant– degrees may be divided into minutes and
seconds» 1 degree (1o) = 60 minutes (60’)
» 1 minute (1’) = 60 seconds (60”)

Metes and Bounds Bearings are measured clockwise or
counterclockwise from either north or south Example
– N60oE
– S35o45’15”W

Metes and Bounds Survey begins with
monument called point-of-beginning or POB– fixed location such
as iron rod, rocks, trees
Plot plan laid out with respect to POB

Rectangular System
Established by US Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
Based on – latitude (parallels running east/west)– longitude (meridians running north/south)
![Page 8: Property Legal Descriptions. u Method of establishing legal description and location of properties u 3 basic systems –metes & bounds –rectangular system](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d9c5503460f94a85a58/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Rectangular System
Intersection of 2 establishes a reference point– base lines lines of latitude– principal meridians lines of longitude
Were used to establish areas known as great land surveys– 32 sets in continental US– 5 set in Alaska– most given local names

Rectangular System
Land surveys broken down into smaller surveys Quadrangles
– 24 miles x 24 miles Township
– 6 miles x 6 miles (36 square miles)– located with respect to baseline & principal meridian
» Township Number North or South from Baseline
» Range Number East or West from Principal Meridian

Commonly used when a portion of land is subdivided into individual building sites
Subdivision given name– broken into blocks & lots
Subdivision established as a legal plot and recorded in county records
