Residential Free Patent for Landowners!

Good news for landowners in Region 6 of the Philippines!  The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has declared that free land titling is available for residential landowners, subject to the requirements under Republic Act 10023, otherwise known as the Residential Land Patent Act of 2010.  This act stipulates that landowners occupying untitled lands that are free and alienable may avail of free titling.  It's time for that land you've been greedily occupying and staunchly protecting with your life to be yours! 

If you are:

• a Filipino citizen
• occupying said residential land (alienable public land) for 10 years or more
• has paid the real estate property taxes on subject land parcel for the past 10 years or more

Then you're in luck!  Head on over to the DENR field office to submit your application for evaluation and assessment!

Some more information about how much residential land may be eligible for titling:

• Highly urbanized city - maximum of 200 sq.m., 500 sq.m.. in other cities
• 1st to 2nd class municipalities - maximum of 750 sq.m.
• 3rd class towns - maximum of 1,000 sq.m.

Now isn't that just exciting news?  Free land, just for living on it for 10 years or more, and for paying the property taxes ("amilyar" in Filipino).  Take care of it, land is precious, people have been known to kill for much less.

Residencefully yours,
