Cadastral community

A cadastral community (also referred to as a cadastral municipality, commune, or unit) is a cadastral subdivision of municipalities in several Central European nations, including Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Netherlands, and parts of Italy. The community records property ownership in a cadastre, which is a public register that legally defines real estate boundaries and ownership for tax and legal purposes.

The concept and its common etymology originate from the German term Katastralgemeinde (KG; literally "cadastral municipality" or "cadastral community") used in the successor states of the former Habsburg monarchy. The historical name in Czech and Slovak, katastrální obec, was formally changed to katastrální území ("cadastral area" or "cadastral territory") in 1928, although the former term still shares the same common root as the Croatian (katastarska općina) and Slovene (katastralna občina) names. The concept existed in the past in Hungary (kataszteri község).
