Definition of "Legal Land Description"
Legal Land Description is how the government describes sections of land for the purpose of government records and the determination of ownership. In North America, most jurisdictions use a township and ranges system. The legal land description may be conveyed in various ways with the most common way being a series of numbers, such as SW19-57-8-W5. Your legal land description may be found on your land title, in tax assessment information, and in your mortgage agreement. It is NOT your street address.
