Niterói will regularize 10,000 lots in city communities | Niterói

“I know the importance that land regularization has on the demands of the communities of Niterói. I am very proud to say that we will promote access to credit, benefits, citizenship, quality of life, ownership for more and more Niteroi residents. We hired a specialized company that will be responsible for carrying out this work together with the Housing Department to correct errors, reinforce successes and reduce delivery times for titles”, explained Axel.

Regularization has two steps. First, the regions are divided into lots and a topographic survey of the space is carried out using georeferencing. Next, a legal process begins to assess land ownership and begin the transfer of ownership. In the end, the benefiting residents complete this process with the delivery of the title registered with a notary.

The initiative represents a special look by the Municipality towards an old and ongoing demand from residents’ associations. The Secretary of Housing and Land Regularization, José Carlos Freire, commented on the relevance of these actions. “Land regulation begins with the dream of having secure housing and ends with the title of ownership of that land that has been occupied, often, for generations. With this project, we are improving and expanding on a large scale a service that the Housing Department has been providing for years. We learned from these experiences and, with technological support and a new methodology, we are improving our operations”, concluded the secretary.
