Knowra Cadastral surveying Cadastral surveying Cadastral surveying measures and documents land parcel boundaries and related property information. Its records support land ownership, taxation, planning, and administration.
Property boundary : A legally recognized or claimed line separating one landholding from another. Cadastral surveys locate and describe these lines using legal records and physical evidence.
Cadastre : An official system of land parcels and associated information about ownership, value, or use. Cadastral surveying supplies much of the spatial information maintained by a cadastre.
Land administration : The systems and processes for recording, managing, and governing land rights, use, and value. Cadastral surveys provide parcel geometry for these administrative functions.
Domesday Book : A late-eleventh-century survey and record of landholding and resources in England. It is an early example of systematic land information gathered for royal administration.
Title registration : A land-registration system in which the register records recognized ownership and interests in land. It contrasts with deed-based systems, where records document transactions rather than guarantee title.
Boundary monument : A physical marker placed to identify a surveyed point on a land boundary. Monuments make surveyed boundary points identifiable and recoverable in the field.
Land tenure : The rules and relationships through which people or institutions hold and use land. Tenure determines which interests parcel surveys and records must describe.
Property tax : A tax levied on real property, commonly based on assessed value or other property measures. Parcel records help identify taxable properties and connect them to assessment records.
Roman land surveying : The measurement and division of land in the Roman world, including the laying out of colonial territories. Roman surveying linked measured plots to taxation, settlement, and administrative control.
Deed registration : A system that records instruments affecting land without necessarily guaranteeing the validity of the title they describe. Its evidential role differs from a register that certifies ownership and parcel interests.
