Cyprus upgrades land information system with 22 million euro investment

The Department of Lands and Surveys in Cyprus is embarking on a major digital transformation project to upgrade and expand its Land Information System. With a budget of 22 million euros, the project is being co-funded by the European Union under the THALIA 2021-2027 Cohesion Policy Program. This initiative serves as a strategic infrastructure upgrade designed to replace outdated technological systems, streamline administrative procedures, and enhance overall operational efficiency for the public and professionals.

The new digital environment will centralize land and appraisal data, enhance security, and automate internal processes. Key features of the upgrade include the migration of existing records into the new system, improvements to the DLS Portal infrastructure, and support for electronic signatures. By reducing the necessity for in-person visits to land registry offices, the project aims to facilitate faster service delivery and bolster the real estate market. The initiative represents a critical step toward modernizing the administrative functions of the Cypriot civil service.
