Government announces new land titling sessions in Sabana Perdida, San Cristóbal and other locations
SANTO DOMINGO. Some 2,500 families from the El Almirante II sector in Santo Domingo East received their property titles yesterday, Sunday, during a ceremony led by President Luis Abinader, bringing legal security to approximately 13,000 people over the land they occupy.
With this new day, the number of households benefiting in that community rises to 4,000, after another 1,500 property certificates were distributed in a first stage.
In that regard, the president reported that the program will continue in the coming weeks with land titling operations in Sabana Perdida, San Cristóbal, and other locations in the eastern region. He also announced that he will return to El Almirante to deliver another 2,500 titles, with the goal of completing 6,500 certificates in the project and reaching approximately 45,000 people.
Beneficiaries would save RD$200 million
For his part, Duarte Méndez, executive director of the State Land Titling Technical Unit, explained that the process represents an estimated savings of RD$200 million for the beneficiaries, who would have had to assume that cost if they carried out the procedures through private channels.
When offering details about the land included in the process, Méndez indicated that it is located in parcel 1-B-REF, of Cadastral District number 06, with an extension of 507,699.82 square meters.
According to the official, the titling process aims to guarantee the legal security of the owners and allow them to legally prove their rights over the land without assuming the costs of the procedure.
Furthermore, he expressed his gratitude for the participation of community organizations, municipal authorities, and institutions involved in the work, including the Real Estate Jurisdiction, National Assets, and the staff of the unit he directs.
Residents appreciate the awarding of titles
Meanwhile, on behalf of the beneficiary families, Mildred González Cruz expressed her gratitude for the delivery of the certificates and noted that having property titles was an aspiration of the community's residents.
Similarly, during the activity, the parish priest of the Epiphany of the Lord church, Friar Yenny Wadner Familia, intervened, highlighting the participation of community organizations since the beginning of the titling work in the area.
In that context, the religious leader expressed his satisfaction with the completion of the process and thanked the people and institutions that contributed to the residents receiving their documents.
