Cadastre refers to the official register that records land parcels, including their precise locations (spatial references) and ownership details, and is used mainly for taxation and land administration. It represents the integrated set of records and maps that describe who owns each parcel and where it is. A cadastral number is just an identifier for a parcel, a cadastral map is the map showing parcel boundaries, and a cadastral survey is the measurement process to define those boundaries. So cadastre is the term that best fits the description because it denotes the whole system of parcel records used for taxation.
