cadastral
Relating to parcels
Cadastral relates to official records of property boundaries and land ownership.
The term appears almost exclusively in legal and surveying contexts: cadastral maps, cadastral surveys.
A cadastral system tracks who owns what land and where the boundaries lie—essential for taxation, land transfers, and resolving property disputes.
