THE MINIMUM SIZE OF LAND REQUIRED FOR A LAND TITLE IN UGANDA.
Obtaining a land title is a crucial step in establishing ownership, but there are regulations that dictate the minimum size of land eligible for titling. The Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development has a policy that limits the issuance of land titles for plots smaller than 12.5 decimals (approximately 0.125 acres or 0.051 hectares) or smaller than 50x100 feet (approximately 0.046 hectares) in size. Key Objectives of the Policy.
1. Encouraging Land Consolidation: By limiting titles for smaller plots, the policy aims to encourage the consolidation of small plots into more economically viable landholdings. This promotes better land utilization and encourages larger, more productive estates. 2. Simplifying Land Administration: Managing small, fragmented plots can be administratively complex and costly. By setting a minimum size requirement, the government reduces the complexities involved in land management.3. Promoting Efficient Land Use: Larger consolidated
