The entire State of Maryland uses square feet for lot size. I looked it up to
be sure. Other states may be different.

Stan,
I must disagree about U.S. residential lot sizes being expressed in
square feet, at least in my part of the country (New England). Site plans,
municipal tax records, real estate listings, and colloquial references are
almost exclusively expressed in acres (e.g. .25 acre, .34 acre, 1.00 acre or 1
acre, 1.50 acres, 2.18 acres, etc.).

>>Residential lot sizes in the US are in square feet. Lot sizes are in
acres for farms. It doesn't make sense to use such a large unit as acre or
hectare in describing lot size when a more standard and common unit (m, km
etc) is available.
