To all our congressmen and women and senators, please pass this bill.
Proposal to the Congress of the Philippines
Establish a One-Stop Shop for Land Title Transfer.
๐ก Purpose:
โ๏ธ To simplify, speed up, and make more transparent the transfer of land titles by creating a One-Stop Shop where all government agencies involved in the transfer process are available in one location or through one integrated digital system.
๐ก Background:
โ๏ธ At present, transferring a land title requires property owners to visit multiple government offices, including the:
๐ Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)
๐ Local Treasurer's Office
๐ Registry of Deeds (LRA)
๐ City/Municipal Assessor's Office
๐ Other agencies when applicable (DENR, DAR, HLURB/DHSUD, etc.)
๐ก This process often results in:
โ๏ธ Multiple trips and long waiting times.
โ๏ธ Higher transportation and processing costs.
โ๏ธ Confusion about documentary requirements.
โ๏ธ Delays in title transfers.
โ๏ธ Greater opportunities for fixers and corruption.
๐ก Proposed Solution:
โ๏ธ Create a Land Title Transfer One-Stop Shop that:
โ๏ธ Accepts all required documents in one place.
โ๏ธ Coordinates processing among all concerned agencies.
โ๏ธ Allows applicants to track the status of their application online.
โ๏ธ Uses a unified digital database to reduce repetitive submission of documents.
โ๏ธ Provides a single payment system for applicable government fees and taxes.
๐ก Expected Benefits:
โ๏ธ Faster processing of land title transfers
Reduced inconvenience and expenses for the public
โ๏ธ Increased transparency and accountability
โ๏ธ Reduced opportunities for illegal fixers
โ๏ธ Improved ease of doing business
โ๏ธ Better public trust in government services
Recommendation.
๐ We respectfully urge Congress to study and enact legislation establishing a One-Stop Shop for Land Title Transfer nationwide, with strong inter-agency coordination and digital integration to make property transactions more efficient, secure, and citizen-friendly.
Mas mabilis na proseso, mas kaunting abala, mas maayos na serbisyo para sa bawat Pilipino.
