Cognised existence: A cadastral parcel is the legal unit of land ownership. It exists because a surveyor measured it and a governance authority registered it. It has a boundary, an identifier, an area, and an owner.
Question: What are the legal boundaries and ownership of land?
What is a Cadastral Parcel?
Each cadastral system defines unique parcel identifiers within one or more cadastral districts. The parcel boundary is the legal division of land, independent of what grows on it or what buildings sit on it.
