In a plat, who numbers the lots and blocks?

• A. Buyer
• B. Surveyor
• C. Lender
• D. Developer

Answer: (D)

In a plat, the numbering of lots and blocks comes from the developer’s subdivision plan. The developer designs how the land will be divided and assigns the lot and block numbers to organize ownership and reference. A licensed surveyor then prepares the plat drawing—showing the exact boundaries, dimensions, and legal descriptions—and the numbers appear on the plat as part of the official mapped subdivision. The planner/recording process validates and records this map, but the initial decision and assignment of the lot and block numbers come from the developer, not the buyer or lender.
