Which item is typically included in a Title to identify the parcel?

• A. Property value estimate
• B. Zoning code
• C. Legal description
• D. Title numbers

Answer: (C)

The part of a Title that identifies the parcel is the legal description—the precise, formal description of the property's boundaries and location (such as lot, block, plan numbers). This description uniquely distinguishes the specific parcel in all legal documents, ensuring you’re recording and transferring the correct property. A property value estimate is an appraisal value, not an identification of the parcel. Zoning code relates to land-use regulations and isn’t used to identify the parcel. While a title may include reference identifiers, the legally decisive element for parcel identification is the legal description.
