Legal Notice & Title Clearance
Comprehensive regulatory disclosures regarding the 30-year chain of title, Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ-II) clearances, and Portuguese heritage preservation statutes across Diu.
30-Year Chain of Title Verification Protocol
Property ownership on Diu Island is governed by historical Portuguese land registration records (*Matrícula Predial*) alongside post-1961 Land Revenue Code of the Union Territory. DiuCity enforces a rigorous 5-step legal vetting process prior to onboarding any inventory:
Conducted via the Sub-Registrar Office of Diu verifying continuous ownership and absence of mortgage charges.
Official revenue certification affirming zero pending civil suits, court attachments, or municipal dues.
Verification of ancestral succession deeds, partition decrees, and heir consents for heritage properties.
On-ground total station survey confirming stone boundary pillars match registered survey sheet numbers.
Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ-II & CRZ-III) Disclosures
As an oceanic island, all coastal lands in Diu are classified under the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification administered by the Daman and Diu Coastal Zone Management Authority (DDCZMA) and MoEFCC:
Includes developed segments of Ghoghla and Diu Old Town. Construction and reconstruction of authorized buildings on the landward side of established roads or existing authorized structures are permitted within prescribed FSI norms.
Governs designated stretches near Nagoa Beach and Vanakbara. Tourism and hospitality developments adhere to strict setback guidelines (typically beyond 200m from High Tide Line) with eco-friendly height restrictions (maximum 9 meters).
Diu Municipal Council (DMC) & Collectorate Sanctions
All development, building alterations, or commercial usage transitions are subject to statutory building layout sanctions from the Diu Planning and Development Authority (DPDA) and the Diu Municipal Council (DMC).
DiuCity provides prospective purchasers with copies of existing development permissions, approved floor plans, and municipal tax receipts to verify compliance prior to entering definitive contracts.
