The law recognizes three types of land in Tanzania namely General land, Village land and Reserved land :
** General land is a surveyed land usually located in urban and peri-urban centres.
** Village land is usually land in villages and within villages in rural Tanzania. Some village land has been surveyed but the majority of the land is un-surveyed. Village land cannot be used for investment until it is transferred into general land.
** Reserved land includes that reserved for forestry, National parks, public recreation grounds etc.
Obtain Land (For Investors) :
Foreign investors can obtain land for investment through Tanzania Investment Centre, where a ‘‘ Derivative Right’’ is granted.
There are two main ways by which investors can obtain land for investment :
1) To apply for land acquisition from the village, and then follow all the necessary steps required, until the land is transferred from village land to general land and given to TIC in order to prepare a Derivative Right for the investor.
2) To purchase a parcel of land from individuals/Companies; once the buyer and a seller have agreed upon the price, the seller is required to surrender the land title to the Commissioner for Lands in order to re-issue in the name of TIC, which will eventually prepare a Derivative Right for an investor.
