Texas Real Estate State Practice Exam

What type of description takes into consideration base lines, meridians, townships, and sections in real estate?

1. Metes and Bounds

2. Rectangular/ Government Survey

3. Monuments

4. Lot, Block, and Subdivision

The correct answer is: Rectangular/ Government Survey

Rectangular/Government Survey is the correct answer because it is a type of description used in real estate that uses fixed survey points and a grid system of base lines, meridians, townships, and sections to accurately identify and describe property boundaries. Metes and Bounds, although also a type of description used in real estate, is based on using physical features and distances to describe property boundaries and is not as precise or systematic as Rectangular/Government Survey. Choice C, Monuments, refers to physical markers placed on a property to identify boundaries, but this does not encompass the entire description process. Choice D, Lot, Block, and Subdivision, is only applicable when dealing with properties that have been subdivided into smaller lots and is not a comprehensive description technique.
