Land Registry in Cyprus

The Department of Lands and Surveys, known as the Land Registry in Cyprus, maintains official property ownership records, including details like property size, value, and legal status. The Registry verifies titles and secures transactions.

The Cyprus Department of Lands and Surveys operates eleven offices in total. The headquarters is located in Lefkosia (Nicosia) and accommodates the director and other managerial personnel, the Survey, Cartography and Geodesy offices and the Land Information Centre. The island has six District Land Offices (DLOs), each corresponding to a district.

Due to the 1974 occupation, the DLO for Ammochostos is now located in Paralimni, and the DLO for Keryneia is located in Nicosia.
