Abstract

The current cadastre in Trinidad and Tobago is 2D, only partially digital, and does not conform to the requirements of the LADM. A web accessible application, that has been recently developed, applies only to a subset of state land that has been leased to private individuals. A clear proposal for taking the current 2D system to a 3D, LADM-based system can be developed and tested so that the land registry and land survey institutions can have a clear prescription for upgrading the current systems. The benefit of introducing this 3D cadastre in high-value, transaction-heavy areas of Trinidad and Tobago can be faster transactions in the more affluent condominium sector, which will help to invigorate the economy and redound to the benefit of the entire country.
