Land titling

Land titling means a person or group’s right to own a piece of land. Land titling begins with a land survey, which is a process of measuring the size and boundaries of the land so that it can be divided into legal titles. When the survey is complete, a government office will issue a legal document that lists the boundaries of the land and the person or group who owns the rights to the land. This document is called the land title. Having a land title means that you have the legal right to use the land, develop the land, or sell the land. It also protects you from other people trying to take your land away from you without your permission.
