A cadastrel (also spelled cadaster) is a comprehensive register of the
real property of a country, and commonly includes details of the ownership, the tenure, the precise location, the dimensions (and area) and the value of individual parcels of land.The word came into
English by way of
French and
Italian, variously attributed to the
Late Latin capitastrum, a register of the
poll tax, and the
Greek κατάστιχον [katastikhon], a list or register, from κατά στίχον [kata stikhon], literally, "down the line", in the sense of "line by line."It gives rise to the adjective cadastral, used in public administration, primarily for ownership and taxation purposes. The terminology used for cadastral divisions may include
counties,
parishes,
ridings,
hundreds, sections, lots, and blocks.
