Our Agency

The Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission, established under the Laws of Guyana (Cap. 59:05, L.R.O. 1/2012), serves as the guardian of public lands, rivers, and creeks. We conduct surveys, prepare maps, maintain national survey controls, and oversee land surveys. We manage the sale, lease, valuation, and records of public lands, collect rents and fees, and ensure compliance with legal conditions. Our role includes formulating land use policies, compiling land resource inventories, promoting infrastructure maintenance, and advising the government on land-related policies. With the Minister's approval, we may delegate our functions to other agencies.
