Do your properties come with Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)?

Yes, all Otouchi Shelters properties come with proper documentation and clear titles.

What You Get:

Certificate of Occupancy (C of O):

  • We provide the timeline for final documentation delivery upfront 
  • You receive the title in your name

Understanding R of O vs C of O:

  • R of O (Right of Occupancy): Government allocation giving you right to occupy and develop the land. Can be converted to C of O after meeting requirements. Fully legal and secure in FCT.
  • C of O (Certificate of Occupancy): Final land title showing absolute ownership. Most secure form of title.

  3. Free from government acquisition or disputes
  4. No Omo Onile (land grabber) issues
  5. Clean title guaranteed

Governor’s Consent:

  • Required when transferring property ownership in FCT
  • We handle the entire process on your behalf
  • Costs and timeline clearly communicated upfront
  • Typically takes 3-6 months after full payment

Your Protection:
