Which term shall refer to the description of a land parcel with its boundary directions and distances, together with a note of adjacent property owners, their lot numbers, and other relevant natural and man-made features?

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

Answer: (B)

Metes and bounds describes a land parcel by its boundary lines measured in directions and distances, starting from a point of beginning and returning to it. This method also notes adjacent property owners and their lot numbers, along with natural and man-made features, to fix the parcel’s exact location on the ground. The term explicitly conveys the surveying approach of detailing every boundary with precise measurements and reference points, which is why it’s the best fit here. The plural form bounds is important because it indicates descriptions of all the parcel’s boundaries, not just one. The singular variant is not the standard terminology, and more generic terms like boundary description or lot description don’t capture the established surveying method used for legal property descriptions.
