<p>The Liberia Land Authority (LLA) was established by an Act of the Legislature in October 2016, thus <a></a>consolidating all land related functions previously performed by key land administration agencies, such as the Department of Lands, Survey and Cartography (DLSC) under the former Ministry of Lands, Mines and Energy, and the Deed and Title Registry of the Center for National Document Record Agency (CNDRA).</p>

<p>Section 45.1 and Section 6.2 of the LLA Act mandates the LLA to administer the affairs of the Authorities and establish County Land Offices (CLOs) necessary for the proper conduct of business across the fifteen subdivision of the Republic of Liberia.</p>

<p>However, in fulfilment of the Government of Liberia (GoL) decentralization policy (taking efficient and effective service delivery to the people), the LLA received support from the just ended World Bank supported Liberia Land Administration Project (LLAP) to renovate five (5) offices in Bomi, Grand Bassa, Grand Gedeh, Bong and Lofa Counties, respectively. The renovation of the five offices is to help strengthen the services of the LLA in the five selected counties in other to meet the public quest to obtain good land service and delivery.</p>
