What is the difference between a legal description and a tract description?
Our records include the tract description, which is the legal description rewritten and abbreviated. It is used to help you, and our staff, to be able to visualize the property location and find it easily on a map. Legal descriptions can be rather lengthy and unreadable to someone not familiar with reading legal descriptions.
