Lands & Survey

Overview of Department:

The Lands and Survey Department, which falls under the Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing and the Environment, is the national mapping agency and also functions as the principal department for the land information management in Montserrat.  Because of its responsibility for managing the core land records on which all other land information systems are based, the department plays a key role in the effective management and use of land in Montserrat.  Structured into two functional areas consisting of the Land Registry and the Survey Section, the Department operates under a good legislative framework with responsibility for administering the Registered Land Act, the Land Survey Act and Survey Regulations and the Landholding Act.

Vision
