This service allows landowners to transfer the rights to their land to a new owner. After the application is submitted successfully, it is sent to the sector or to the private notaries for processing. Note that voluntary sale applications for commercial and industrial use are sent to the district for processing. This service is provided by the National Land Authority (NLA).
The processing time is 7 working days, and the price depends on the number of contract pages.
NOTE: When you choose a private notary to process the application, you will only pay Rwf 6,500 directly to the notary upon notarization.
