The four land tenures of Uganda.

Perpetual ownership registered under the Mailo system, common in Buganda. Check for registered tenants (bibanja holders) on the land before you buy.

Full ownership of the land in perpetuity with a registered title. The cleanest tenure to transfer, most common outside the central region.

Held for a fixed term, typically 49 or 99 years, from a landlord or a district land board. Confirm the remaining term and renewal conditions.

Held under community or clan custom, sometimes with a certificate of customary ownership. Confirm the boundary and the family or clan consent.
