Cameroon land law

This book, entitled "La droit foncier camerounais" (Cameroonian land law), is a simplified presentation of what emerges from the multitude of texts on Cameroonian land law. It begins with a brief presentation of the historical evolution of land management in Cameroon, from the period of German colonization, through French and English colonization, to post-independence. It then presents the different categories of land and their acquisition procedures. These include land in the national domain, land in the public domain, land in the private domain of the state, land held by other public corporations, and private land. These different types of land can be acquired by direct registration, concession, donation, bequest or sale. It also presents the commissions in charge of monitoring transactions, the land title and its importance, procedures for managing land disputes, land taxation and the body of texts governing the operation of this area of law.
