Art. 3 of Decree 49-79 (checked in audit) excludes supplementary titling over properties larger than 45.125 ha (one caballería), over property located in the Franja Transversal del Norte and in the agrarian development zones of Decree 60-70 (except urban fractions of up to 5,000 m²), over property inside state reserves and over surplus areas of rural or urban properties.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

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.
