territorial property

territorial property. Land and water over which a state has jurisdiction and control, whether the legal title is held by the state or by a private individual or entity. • Lakes and waters wholly within a state are generally its property, as is the marginal sea within the three-mile limit, but bays and gulfs are not always recognized as state property. [Cases: States 11. C.J.S. States § 7.]
