Land Management Program (LMP)
Cadastral Surveying and Land Tenure Clarification
in Belize
A team of Swedish, American and Belizean experts
are working for the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment
in Belize since January 2003. Their task is to perform systematic cadastral
surveying and clarification of land tenure in three districts of Belize.
 Each district is officially declared to be an Adjudication
Area and after that further divided into Adjudication Sections. The
first district, Corozal, will have nine Adjudication Sections and approximately
5000 land parcels will be converted to digital format (if already surveyed),
or surveyed. In addition to that claims will be collected from all landholders,
in order to record land rights in the new Land Registry, which is operating
according to recently developed laws on land registration and guaranteed
title.
The project will run for three years and the objective
is to produce digital Registry Index Maps and clarify tenure for altogether
15 000 rural land parcels and 500 urban parcels.
