Cadastral or legal land surveying requires both land survey expertise and knowledge of how legal principles are applied to property titles. Land has transactional value in land markets, but also the taxes that are to be levied upon it and the value of any commodities contained within in it. Precise boundaries are required for landowners, administrators, barristers. As land and urban areas become more developed and populated, these boundaries continue to extend upwards, meaning that defining cadastre in three dimensions (including air space parcels) becomes ever more important.
