The Peruvian government, through the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation and the Organism for the Formalization of Informal Property, delivered 8,173 property titles nationally between August and September.
This initiative aims to provide legal certainty to families and land designated for public services. The government carried out this process in several regions including Arequipa, Ica, Lambayeque, Tacna, Moquegua, and Ayacucho, reaching populations who have waited years for legal recognition of their land.
Ayacucho province received 1,144 property titles, benefiting over 4,500 people. The delivery took place in the Iguaín district, where approximately 300 families received their titles directly, demonstrating the government’s commitment to reaching remote areas of Peru. Of the titles granted in Ayacucho, 982 were for residential land and 162 were for urban equipment and public services. Twenty-one properties were formalized for the Education sector, including ten already-built schools and eleven plots for expansions or new construction.
Six properties were formalized for the Health sector across several districts. Additionally, the government formalized land in the Sancos district for the Interior sector, enabling future police or control infrastructure. The Ministry of Housing intends to continue prioritizing land formalization throughout the country.
