In Oregon:
A Parcel is defined in the statues (from a Partition Plat)
A Lot is defined in the statues (from a Subdivision)
and I just learned that a Tract is defined in the statutes (ORS 100, within a Condominium)
There are two non-contiguous pieces of land that I am adding into a Condominium, and I cannot call them a "Lot", "Tract", or "Parcel", so what do I call them???
I have run into a similar situation.?ÿ On the survey (and in the descriptions) I gave them the nomenclature of "areas".?ÿ As in "an area of land adjacent to Lot 3 more particularly described as..."
Nobody bitched, the city?ÿapproved it and the check cleared.

For a legal description, I usually use "portion" as in: That portion of the southwest quarter of section 10...
On the face of the survey, I generally don't call them anything, I just cite them by the recording info for the most recent deed.

PPM,
I don't see 'Tract' listed under definitions in ORS 100.
PPM,

Maybe I should not have used the phrase "Tract is defined", but in ORS 100.115(3)(i) it says that the Tracts should be labeled... That is what I was refering to. As you know Tract is a word we all (in Oregon) use when we cannot call something a Lot or a Parcel, but now I need something else.?ÿ?ÿ
In the particular condo I am working on, it will have "Withdrawable Variable Property" and there are two of them. So I was going to label them Tract 1 and Tract 2.?ÿ But I need another word to refer to other ____s?ÿ (not parcels, not tracts, not lots) of land. I had seen/heard another word that can be used for it years ago and thought I could remember when the time came... but No. Area 1 and Area 2 maybe. (I cannot use "Unit" because that conflicts with the Condo).?ÿ
dang it, there was a recent Texas post with an interesting label for a tract of land, now I can't remember what it was. I would try reminder, portion or exception if those fit.
PPM,
ORS 100.115.1.i states that they need to be labeled as "Withdrawable Variable Property" or "Non-withdrawable Variable Property" specifically.?ÿ The term tract in the section is used as common practice in Oregon to describe something other that a lot, parcel or unit.?ÿ I would just label the areas in question "Withdrawable Variable Property A" and?ÿWithdrawable Variable Property B".

I may try that. We were thinking it was required to be:
?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿ ?ÿTRACT A
WITHDRAWABLE VARIABLE PROPERTY
and that was what was causing the problem. There is already a Tract A, in this Condo (another Stage AKA phase).?ÿ
PPM - I'd recommend calling the Multnomah County Surveyor (even if your plat isn't in that county). Jim is my go-to guy for condo questions. He's a good guy and knows condos inside and out. In about 5 minutes?ÿ he can probably point you to numerous examples in their on-line records. Examples that past muster with the State Real Estate Commissioner, attorneys, county surveyors, etc.?ÿ
Lot, a "share" of land... See Black's Law Dictionary.
If I needed a different word I would use "share" as words like "Division" give the idea of a formal Subdivision.
