Types of Cambodian Property Titles: LMAP Title

Land Management and Administration Project (LMAP) Title

• The LMAP Title is another property ownership title issued and recognised on a national level by the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) - along with the relevant cadastral offices.
• The main difference of the LMAP Title from a Hard Title is its inclusion of the exact GPS coordinates that determine the boundaries of the property in question.
• LMAP Titles can only be obtained on land that has been indexed on a cadastral map. So, if a plot of land has not yet been indexed, an LMAP Title cannot be issued for that property.
• If the MLMUPC is presently undergoing the necessary LMAP titling process in your village or area where you live, this means you only need to follow what your local authority informs you to do once the project is completed. It is their obligation to communicate with you.
• It is possible to own a Hard Title without an LMAP Title due to the above-mentioned limitation
• A Transfer tax of 4% percent will be paid based on the total property value upon the facilitation of the LMAP Title transfer.
• Foreign nationals are not permitted to own an LMAP title.
