Collection and Usage Attributes
This standard is suitable for postal purposes as well as the physical identification of addresses.

A lot number shall be used only when a street number has not been specifically allocated or is not readily identifiable with the property.

For identification purposes, the word 'Lot' or 'Section' should precede the lot number and be separated by a space.

Examples are as follows:
Section 123456
Lot 716
Lot 534A
Lot 17 Jones Street
The lot/section number is positioned before the Street name and type, located in the same line containing the Street name.
Lot/section numbers are generally used only until an area has been developed.
