German term or phrase: Grundstück vs. Flur/Flurstück

I'm now working on this smaller document entitled "Erbschaftsvermoegen," which lists a number of properties.

For example:

Bebautes Grundstueck in [city]
[address]
Grundbuch [city]
Flurnummer: XXX
Flurstuecknummer: XXX/X

According to what it says in the glossary, I guess "Flur" should be translated as "plot" and "Fluerstueck" as "parcel." But often I've been told that "Gruendstueck" could also be translated as "plot" or "parcel." (As I understand, a "parcel" is a subdivision of a "plot.") In any event, if I use the above wording from the glossaries for "Flur" and "Flurstueck," then how best to translate "Grundstueck"? Property?

Thanks.

lot vs.parcel

Explanation:
This is what appears on my property tax bill. (Us usage)

I would say this is the equivalent for Grundstück.

Flurstück is probably parcel. Block is also used in cities. It depends on your context.
