Frequently asked questions

What is the agrarian tenure guarantee?

It is the protection granted by INTI to those who work land productively, so they are not evicted while their situation is resolved. It is obtained by application to the regional INTI office, which verifies the productive activity.

When is agrarian amparo available?

It is available against acts or facts that threaten or interrupt productive agricultural activity, such as occupations or measures that prevent production. It is brought before the agrarian courts, which can order measures to protect continuity of production.

What should be checked before buying a farm in Venezuela?

In addition to the chain of title, whether the land has open proceedings before INTI, whether there are occupants or allocations to third parties, land use classification, water and environmental permits, and related debts. The Land Law imposes limitations that do not appear in the property registry.
