ca·das·tre \k_’dast_(r)\: an official register of the quantity, value, and ownership of real estate used in apportioning taxes.Cadastral information sometimes is thought of as simply the corners and boundaries resulting from land surveys, and the descriptive information found in surveyors’ notes. Expanding on that, cadastral information may be regarded in the context of the extent of the land, and sometimes also the value of the land, especially as related to taxation. Given a little more thought, cadastral information is considered to include the owner(s) of the land, and how the land might be used. Cadastral information includes all of these, and more. The following discussions elaborate on the “and other details” noted in the definition above.ca·das·tral \k_’dastr_l\ (1) of or relating to the records of a cadastre: concerned with an assembling or keeping of records necessary to a cadastre; (2) of a map or survey: showing or recording property boundaries, subdivision lines, buildings, and other details.
