noun
non-legal public property
A legal term for public property (e.g., roads, lakes) not managed by the Ministry of Finance; often effectively under private control. Used in administrative and legal contexts.

法定公共物 refers to public property managed under specific laws, whereas 法定外公共物 is public property not covered by such legal management frameworks.
Compound of 法定 (legal, statutory) + 外 (outside) + 公共物 (public property). The term describes public property that falls outside the scope of standard legal management.
