Why Register Land
Why Register Land
A land register is a set of land title records that can be searched to determine ownership. It also determines limits and restrictions on ownership, charges and other interests that may apply to a parcel of land.
A reliable land title system, supported by a rigorous survey structure, forms an essential foundation for economic and social prosperity.
Certainty and security in land ownership creates trust in an economy to:
- Serve as a foundation for investments in land.
- Enable development of a lending and credit market for transactions such as mortgages.
- Support assessment and taxation of real property to fund necessary infrastructure and improvements.
