An adjacent parcel may be a contiguous parcel -- but not vice-versa.

Adjacent (or abutting) parcels share common boundaries or property lines; while a contiguous parcel may not share common boundaries but is deemed part of a larger area where the boundaries of the individual parcels that comprise that larger area abut each other.

Are the words proximate and contiguous characteristics of the word adjacent?

Yes, unless there is some special technical meaning to "characteristic" in this context: "Proximate" and "adjacent" mean almost exactly the same thing, except that "adjacent" refers to closeness (actual touching) in physical space and proximate to order in time or, sometimes, logical reasoning. Contiguous is different in that it is a property of a collection of spatial objects rather than a single object, but it could be somewhat loosely defined as "mutual adjacency". The full technical definition of a set of contiguous objects is that, between any two points within the set, there is always a path between the two selected points that does not require going outside the full set In the United States, much the most common use of "contiguous" is in the phrase "contiguous United States", which means all the states except Alaska and Hawaii. No point in either Alaska or Hawaii can be connected along the surface of Earth to any point in another state without going outside the boundaries of the U.S. as a whole.
