Cyprus to modernize Land Information System with 22 million euro project

The Department of Lands and Surveys in Cyprus is set to upgrade and expand its Land Information System through a 22 million euro project. Co-funded by the European Union under the 'THALIA 2021-2027' Cohesion Policy Program, this initiative is categorized as a project of strategic importance, aiming to transform the digital infrastructure of public administration.

The new system will replace outdated technology that currently restricts the department's operational flexibility and integration with other government services. By introducing automation, electronic signatures, and enhanced data security, the project seeks to reduce reliance on manual checks and physical visits to land offices. The platform will provide 24/7 online access to services, improve data management, and facilitate the use of historical records and statistical reporting tools.

Implementation includes a comprehensive migration of existing data and an upgrade of the Department of Lands and Surveys portal infrastructure. The project is expected to reach completion in the second half of 2027, ultimately streamlining property market transactions and supporting broader economic and development activities across the country.
