From Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources Land Administration Project (LAP)
To All Land Owners, Agents and Care Takers in Accra and Kumasi
“Systematic Land Title Registration at Your Door Step”
Please Take Note

The Land Administration Project (LAP) of the Ministry Lands and Natural Resources, is undertaking systematic registration of titles to lands within the Cantonments, Osu, Kaneshie and Dansoman residential areas in Accra and Nhyiaso, Patase, North and South Suntreso residential areas in Kumasi. The exercise will commence in January 2010.

The aim of the exercise is to enable land owner’s register their lands in a simple, fast and cheap manner. Field teams will move from property to property in a systematic or methodical manner to capture information for the exercise. The field team will fill Land Title Registration Forms and a questionnaire for the landowners. At the end of the registration, property owners will be issued with Title Certificates. This gives owners the rights to the land, which are guaranteed by the State and free from all other claims.

Land owners are required to submit photocopies of all their land documents to the field team that will be visiting their houses. The team will also measure the boundaries of the properties and buildings in the project area.

All land owners who have already lodged their documents with the Land Title Registry now known as the Land Registration Division, are required to submit photocopies of their acknowledgement (Yellow) card and other relevant documents to the field team for retrieval and processing of their applications.

If all requirements are met, a Certificate will be issued within three months from the date the data is collected. A flat rate of GH¢50 will be charged as the processing fee for each transaction. This will be paid when the landowner is collecting the Certificate.

We urge you to take advantage of this exercise, which has been brought to your door step and will last for six months. Land owners who fail to take advantage of this opportunity will have to go through the registration process by themselves and pay the full fees.
