The Georgian Parliament passed the bill that significantly simplifies the registration of land property for the citizens. The draft law was prepared by the Ministry of Justice. The changes are aimed at elimination of the difficulties, which the owners of the land property face during the registration process.
 
The new initiatives will be aimed at simplification of real estate registration procedures and protection of land-owners’ rights.
 
As of today only 25% of all land in Georgia is registered, which is quiet a small portion.
