Gwangju Buk-gu Provides Free Service for Land Registration Change Requests

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] The “Free Land Registration Change Request Service” implemented by Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) is receiving great response.

According to Buk-gu on the 2nd, the district provides the “Free Land Registration Change Request Service” to resolve inconveniences arising from the exercise of property rights by residents and to reduce their economic burden.

The “Free Land Registration Change Request Service” is an administrative service where the district applies for registration free of charge on behalf of landowners for changes in land registration details (such as lot number, land category, area, etc.) resulting from land movement (division, merger, land category change, etc.) requested by the landowner.

Previously, landowners had to visit the court directly or apply through a judicial scrivener for land registration change requests, which was cumbersome.

Since the implementation of the registration request service, once the land movement arrangement is completed, the district electronically submits the registration request the day after the completion of the land record update without requiring a separate application from the landowner, thereby alleviating residents’ inconvenience.

In particular, last year, the district provided 2,873 cases of free registration request services, saving 140 million KRW in registration fees, which greatly helped residents both in terms of time and finances.

Moon In, Mayor of Buk-gu, said, “We will continue to protect residents’ property rights and provide administrative convenience through more accurate and prompt free registration request services.”
