Urban Land Regularization is an administrative procedure that aims to legalize irregularly occupied urban areas, guaranteeing the occupants the right to housing and access to basic public services. This process aims to bring legal and urban security to these areas, regularizing their status under the law.
Law 6,766 of 1979 establishes general rules on the subdivision of urban land, that is, the rules for the division and use of land in urban areas. It provides that land subdivision can only be carried out with prior approval from the municipal government and requires compliance with a series of technical and urban requirements.
Law 13,465 of 2017 created the legal instrument for Urban Land Regularization, known as REURB, legislation that is regulated by Decree 9,310 of 2008. This law establishes the procedures for the regularization of informal urban centers, that is, areas occupied irregularly, through the granting of title to the occupants.
The lawyer plays a fundamental role in Urban Land Regularization, as he is responsible for advising and representing interested parties in the process.
Its main duties include:
- Legal analysis: The lawyer must analyze the legal situation of the area to be regularized, checking whether it meets the legal requirements for the regularization process, seeking legal measures to make the requests viable.
- Guidance for occupants: The representative must guide occupants about their rights and duties, explaining the regularization process, deadlines, stages and necessary documents.
- Preparation of documents: The lawyer is responsible for preparing the legal documents necessary for the regularization process, such as applications, notifications, contracts, among others.
- Negotiation with the public authorities: The attorney represents interested parties in negotiations with the municipal public authorities, seeking to obtain regularization of the occupied area.
- Monitoring the process: The lawyer monitors the entire regularization process, from the submission of the application to obtaining the title, ensuring that all stages are completed correctly.
It is important to emphasize that Urban Land Regularization is a complex process and that the requirements and procedures may vary according to municipal legislation.
