Knowra Land registration Land registration Land registration is the official recording of land ownership, rights, and boundaries. It creates an authoritative record that can support transactions, administration, and dispute resolution.
Land registry : A public institution or database that records information about land parcels, ownership, and rights. It is the institution that maintains and provides access to registration records.
Land tenure : The rules and relationships governing how people hold, use, and transfer land. Registration records claims within a wider system of landholding rules.
Land administration : The policies and processes for determining, recording, and managing information about land and its use. Registration is a core information function within broader land administration.
Land cadastre : A systematic record of land parcels, often focused on their location, extent, value, or use. A cadastre may map and describe parcels without serving as the authoritative ownership register.
Deeds registration : A system that records documents affecting land without guaranteeing that the named owner holds valid title. It records instruments, unlike title registration systems that certify ownership.
Property right : A legally recognized claim that permits a person to use, control, or transfer an asset. Land registers describe ownership and other legally recognized claims over land.
Land tax : A tax imposed on land or its value, commonly administered using parcel and ownership records. Registration can help identify taxable parcels and the people liable for tax.
Land title certificate : An official document certifying a person's registered ownership or interest in a parcel of land. It is a document that may be issued as evidence of a registration entry.
Title registration : A system that records the legal owner of each parcel and specified interests in it. It is a registration model in which the register itself establishes or evidences title.
Boundary demarcation : The process of identifying and marking the limits of a land area. Reliable registration depends on defining which land a recorded right concerns.
