Which term is used to describe the set of records about parcels of land consisting of a spatial reference and the related information on the area, ownership/claims, value and use of land primarily for taxation purposes?

• A. Cadastre Records
• B. Cadastre Data
• C. Cadastre
• D. Parcel Map

Answer: (C)

The term describes the official system that records land parcels with their exact location and key attributes used for taxation. A cadastre is the comprehensive register that links spatial boundaries to information on area, ownership or claims, value, and land use, serving as the basis for property taxation and land administration. While a parcel map is just the visual depiction of boundaries, and cadastre data or cadastre records refer to components or items within the system, the standard term for this set of records and their spatial reference used for taxation is cadastre.
