Question for a Jamaican concerning captured land?

Question

I have a lot of land in back of a housing scheme that I've chopped off & wired. Many others have done the same, and 5 or 6 people captured their lot 4-5 years ago & have put block houses on them...2 ladies are nearly finished. The parish council has told everyone to stop building, so I had to remove my block ( so no one steals them ) and they are considering selling the lots to use for $J1,000,000. Thing is the land belongs to the government, not the parish. I was told to register the lot with the ministry of lands in Kingston and they must respond in 10 days with either a title or a selling price.

Does anyone have any experience in this process or know where/who to get in touch with that can give me straight answers ??

Answer 4

Sting & Don...both of you did not ANSWER the question posed, you injected your belief(s) which is NOT an answer.....

I'm thinking you both have too mch time on your hands, and that your trouble makers...either way, call me with your complaint about my question, without blockng your number ! I think your too chicken though, LOL ! [phone]

Answer 5

Isnt that STEALING land? Why should i not see it as stealing?

As far as i know, you get to make claims on land if you have lived on it for over 7 years and the owner hasn't maintained it for the duration (maintaining it basically means putting up a fence. it wont help your case if you tore down the owners fence.)

Answer 6

The best advice i can give you is to write a letter to the ministry af land and works stating to them your situation.They will tell you what to do next.
