Purchasing land is a significant milestone in one's life, and the Municipality of Chinhoyi is committed to facilitating this process for its residents. However, it's important to be aware of the responsibilities and obligations that come with land ownership. In some cases, circumstances may lead to the repossession of property by the Municipality. Here, we explore the key circumstances that may result in property repossession:

1. Non-Payment of Full Purchase Price Within the Agreed Time:

  • When acquiring land, it's essential to adhere to the agreed payment schedule. Failure to pay the full purchase price within the stipulated time can lead to potential repossession.

2. Non-Completion of Main House Within Stipulated Time:

  • Land ownership typically comes with the responsibility to develop the infrastructure, including the main house, within a specified time frame. Non-compliance in this regard may lead to repossession.

3. Non-Compliance with Conditions Set Out in the Development Permit:

  • When granted a development permit, it's vital to adhere to the conditions specified in the permit. Failure to do so can result in repossession of the property.

4. Lack of Approved Plan:

  • All property development should follow approved plans to ensure safety and compliance with municipal regulations. The absence of an approved plan may be grounds for repossession.

5. Sale of Land to Third Parties:

  • Landowners are typically allowed to sell their property to third parties only after they have made full payments to the council and have completed the development. Selling the land prematurely may lead to repossession.

6. Falsification of Information at the Time of Purchase:

  • Providing false or inaccurate information during the land purchase process can be considered a breach of the terms and may result in repossession.

The Municipality of Chinhoyi values responsible land ownership and development. It's essential for property owners to understand the terms and conditions associated with their land acquisition and adhere to them diligently. By doing so, you can secure your property and contribute to a vibrant and thriving community in Chinhoyi.

We encourage all residents to stay informed about the terms and conditions of land ownership and to reach out to the Municipality if they have any questions or concerns about their property.
