land parcels

Surveyed real estate

Land parcels are distinct, bounded pieces of real property—the basic units into which land is divided for ownership, taxation, and legal purposes.

Each parcel has defined boundaries and typically a unique identification number in official records: The county assessor maintains records for all land parcels in the jurisdiction.

Real estate transactions, zoning decisions, and property disputes all reference specific parcels.
