Risks of land adjudicated via FONTIERRAS and agrarian decrees
- Land and property for foreigners
- Who may hold land, and on what title
- not audited
The Land Fund (FONTIERRAS, Decree 24-99, a decentralized institution born of the Peace Accords) administers access to land through credit or subsidy and the regularization of land handed over by the state under Decrees 1551 (Agrarian Transformation), 60-70 and 38-71. Risk for the buyer: estates granted by the state often carry resolutory conditions, time-limited bans on transfer, or incomplete grant files awaiting regularization. It is worth checking in the registry certificate whether the property came from a state grant and whether the restriction has lapsed or been canceled. The exact scope of the restrictions article by article is an inference from the framework of Decree 24-99 and is still to be verified.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
