Hebrew term or phrase: מגרש, חלקה, גוש
I always get confused when it comes to these real estate terms: מגרש, חלקה, גוש. I tend to find the same translation for מגרש and חלקה. Suggestions will be apperciated.

Thanks!

lot, block, subdivision
Explanation:
migrash = lot; chelka = block; gush = subdivision
"A lot and block legal property description lists the lot number and block number followed by a reference to a subdivision tract recorded in the county property records."
As a real estate lawyer, these are the terms I routinely use on deeds.

Block, Parcel and Lot


Explanation:
These are, of course, in descending order - a block is the largest, divided into "parcels", which are then sometimes divided into "sub-parcels". Individual "plots of land" are known as "lots", and are a sub-division of parcels or sub-parcels.

disagree  gfrim: A lot and a parcel are the same thing; there is no legal distinction between the two terms. The proper order for a legal property description is "lot, block, subdivision."

neutral  Eynati: Subdivisions are indeed used in the USA, but not necessarily in all states.
