Parcellák

Parcellák are defined geographic units of land used in cadastral and property administration systems. Each parcel represents a bounded area of land and is identified by a unique parcel number on cadastral maps and in land registries. Parcels are the basic units for describing ownership, rights, and responsibilities related to real estate.

A parcel typically has a legally binding description of its boundaries, area, and location, often accompanied by coordinates and a map. Associated attributes may include current land use, zoning designation, and any encumbrances such as easements, mortgages, or rights of way. Ownership of a parcel can be transferred through deeds, and property taxes are usually assessed at the parcel level.

Creation and modification of parcellák occur through subdivision of larger parcels, consolidation of smaller ones, or the redefinition of boundaries following surveys or planning processes. Such changes require surveying work, official approvals, and registration in the land registry or equivalent public records. The information about parcellák is maintained in cadastral databases and GIS systems to support planning, taxation, and land management.

Parcellák play a central role in real estate transactions, land-use planning, and public administration. They provide a standardized framework for identifying and describing land for legal, economic, and regulatory purposes. While the term and exact practices vary by country, the concept of parcels as the fundamental units of land administration is widely used, with local terminology often equivalents in different languages.
