 | OSM does not aim to be a land registry. You can add plot data if you want but only where the plot boundaries are actually visible on the ground. Do not import plot or land ownership data from third party sources. |
| OpenStreetMap data should be distributable as free as possible. By adding parcels and informations about their owners and residents you risk that OpenStreetMap data falls under data protection regulations. This could make usage and distribution of OpenStreetMap data illegal – maybe not in your country but in other countries! |

Usage
Draw an 
area of the plot. Because of OpenStreetMap's rule of verifiability, the plot's boundaries must be visible on the ground. A common way to identify these is by boundary=*.
