Georgia is moving into the next phase of systematic land registration which will cover the Tetritskharo, Gardabani, Kareli, Gori and Sagarejo municipalities of the country, announces the Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia.
This is a very important issue, because 111,000 hectares of land will now be regulated, for which there is already funding", said Gakharia.
Gakharia said that land registration will support economic activities in the field of agriculture.
He said that citizens will not have to pay for land registration, and that the Ministry of Justice will 'fully resolve this issue'.
It will be complete cadastral data, free of charge for our citizens", Gakharia said.
He added that the government has a 3-year plan with its budget in order to complete the systemic land registration in Georgia.

Simplified procedures for land registration, planned to remain in force until January 1, 2020, will become the general rule of land registration, announced Georgian Justice Minister Thea Tsulukiani at a government meeting earlier today.
Foreign citizens living in Georgia have nine days to register their land plots until the new State Constitution, banning Georgia’s agricultural lands to be sold to foreign nationals, comes into force on December 16.Today the Constitutional Court of Georgia declared unconstitutional the moratorium imposed by the Government of Georgia regarding the sale of agricultural lands to foreign citizens.
The office of prosecutor general of Georgia has charged 13 individuals, including a former representative of the mayor of eastern Sagarejo municipality, for "fraudulent acquisition of state-owned land, aiding in fraud and abuse of official authority" in the Kakheti region, the state body announced on Monday.
The nationwide systemic land registration will be fully completed by the end of 2024, making Georgia one of the countries where land ownership issues are “completely resolved”, Minister of Justice Rati Bregadze said on Friday at the Parliament.
