Property Registration & Land Title Security in Madagascar
1. Torrens Title Inviolability
Madagascar uses the Torrens land registration system (Regime de l'Immatriculation Fonciere). Once inscribed in the Livre Foncier, ownership granted under a Titre Foncier is legally conclusive, indefeasible, and guaranteed by the State.
2. Authentic Notarial Deed
Real estate conveyancing requires drafting an Acte Authentique before a licensed Malagasy notary. The notary acts as a public officer, verifying parcel origins, resolving encumbrances, and remitting registration taxes directly to the DGI.
3. Foreign Ownership Regulations
Foreign individuals and majority foreign-owned corporations cannot directly own freehold land titles in Madagascar. Foreign investment in real estate is structured through long-term emphyteutic leases (Bail Emphyteotique) spanning up to 99 years through the EDBM.
