Tuvalu Native Lands Act (Cap. 22) Customary Tenure
Under the Native Lands Act (Cap. 22) administered by the Department of Lands & Survey and the Lands Court:
- Inalienable Native Lands: Land in Tuvalu is owned by native families and kaitasi (co-owning kin groups). Land cannot be sold or transferred in fee simple to non-Tuvaluans; only approved lease agreements are lawful.
- Kaupule Consent: Leases must receive formal authorization from the local island council (Kaupule) and confirmation from the Lands Court.
- Capital Scarcity: In Funafuti, where land area is under 2.8 square kilometers, statutory ground rents reflect high urban residential density.
