Create and Edit Parcels

A Parcel refers to a defined unit or section of land that is recorded within the system for the purposes of managing land agreements, ownership, and rights associated with Land Management projects. Each Parcel represents a unique piece of property with specific geographic boundaries, ownership details, and legal attributes, enabling users to organize and track relevant data, including landowner information, usage rights, agreements and associated engagements (communications, issues, commitments). A parcel can have a geometry associated with it which can be displayed on the map.

Parcels typically refer to cadastral information but can also be used to add aboriginal land boundaries or other types of land entities for which you need to engage with stakeholders and over which you will negotiate agreements.

You can also create parcels in batch using the Excel template and import feature.
