To create a system there are 37 principal meridian lines in United States. In Florida the principal meridian in baselines run through the center of Tallahassee.Tax mapsProperty can also be identified through and assessors parcel number, referred to as a P ID, which is used to aid in the assessment of property for tax collection.Metes and boundsThis system is the oldest method of land description. Metes refers to distance measured in feet in bounds refers to direction. Every metes and bounds description begins with the reference point called a Point of beginning or POB. It ends there, as well, as it marks boundaries. Making its way back to the POB. An end point is referred to as a terminus.This system relies on monuments which are fixed objects used as establish boundaries. And compass bearings are used to describe the direction of the boundary lines. Know that every circle equals 360° in directions are given in degrees, minutes', in seconds".Subdividing sectionsEach section is one square mile which equals 640 acres.Just as property owner really owns a plot of land as a large township 36 mi.², property owners really owning entire section 1 mi.² or 640 acres. So with legal descriptions using government services them, each section must be divided in smaller units. This is done by quartering a section into four quadrants and then each quadrant is quarter again and again until remaining unit presents the property. It is not

uncommon for the last division to be half unit instead of a quarter Township or a tierThe east west strip of land formed by two township lines or called This.BaselinesAre primary reference lines running in the east west direction Import equivalences1 mile equals 5280 linear feet. 1 acre equals 43,560 ft.².One section equal 640 acres. One Township equals 36 sections.

Range lines - Run north / southrun north and south every 6 miles to the west and east of the principal meridian. Each Rangeline has an identifier it starts with an R to signify that it is Rangeline. Then a number that tells you how many lines it is away from the principal meridian any issues with either a W or E to signify that it is moved to the west or east from the principal meridian. For example, our 3W is three range lines to the west of the principal meridian.Correction linesDue to the curvature of the earth combine with the crude instruments used in early days of the System means that the few townships are exactly 6 miles squares or contain exactly 36 mi.². Therefore correction lines and checks are use in the government survey system. Every fourth township line is used as the correction line in which the placement of the range lines are measured and corrected 2846 miles. A check contain 16 townships TownshipsIntersection of two range lines into Township lines for my 6 mile Square call the township. It is identified by the Rangeline and the township line that borders the township farthest away from the principal meridian in the baselines.The township not township line is identified as T to S, are 3W. The township line is always listed first reading from left to right. Townships as stated are 6 miles x 6 miles which equals 36 miles.Assessment rollEvery parcel each county is listed by parcel number in this list. Assessment roll list information for every property in the assessing municipality or county including showing owners name and address of record Principal meridianThese are primary reference lines running in a north-south direction. Throughout United States there are 37 Of these line points. In Florida Tallahassee is the location where they intersect.Fractional sections and government lotsDivided sections by quarters know within the government survey system as an aliquot part the standard subdivisions of a section, such as half section, quarter section, or quarter quarter section. When the government begin dividing land by the prices they end up with areas of land which were less than aliquot part (a fractional piece of the section) that frequently bordered water. This subpart Of a section with designated by a number for example lot three and is called a government lot.RangeThe north south strip of land form by two range lines is called this.Plat mapsIn order to use the lot and block system the plat map submitted by a developer must be reviewed and approved

by governing body such as the urban planning commission or zoning board. The plat map is there recorded and put into the official county records. He planted subdivision map shows the develop area divided into blocks and then lots - taking the property down to smaller parcels to be sold.
