The draft law of land use is ready
Posted On 21 Nov 2014
Alianza PAIS (AP) formalized the presentation of the draft Territorial Planning Law, Management and Land Uses, within which a Superintendency and a Technical Board created is created.
The President of the Commission on Decentralized Autonomous Governments, Richard Calderón (AP), said that the law seeks to solve the problem of housing in risk areas, of land speculation and ensure the access to housing.
The project ultimately does not touch the issue of surplus value, which is a power of the Executive branch by constituting a tax, but it does establishes “onerous rights” when moving from rural to urban land, from residential to commercial, “but local governments will be able to determine this,” he said.
