Overview
- Eligibility requires over 10 years of continuous possession without third‑party claims, a sworn statement of no legal actions, empadronamiento of at least 50% of occupants, and proof such as utility bills, tax payments, or neighbor testimony.
- Cofopri verifies on-site and through documents to confirm legitimate possession and prevent improper land appropriation.
- Under Law No. 31056, beneficiaries are barred from selling or transferring the property for five years, the program prioritizes people without other registered properties, and irregular transfers can be annulled with reversion to the State.
- Obtaining a formal title can provide legal security, enable inheritance, facilitate access to credit, and encourage formal housing improvements.
- The procedure has been published by Cofopri and is open for applications through the MVCS-affiliated agency.
