The teryt:terc tag links OSM object to entry in TERYT database maintained by Polish government. Unique TERC codes are assigned to territorial division units[1] - boundary=administrative relations.
- voivodeships admin_level=4
- powiats and cities with powiat status admin_level=6
- gminas admin_level=7
- towns and rural areas in urban-rural gminas admin_level=8 - sometimes also added on place=city and place=town nodes despite that TERC codes are of territorial division units
- districts and representations in urban gminas admin_level=9
This tag should appear only on object in Poland, as it is not assigned for locations in other countries.
