MoJ

Attorney General’s Chambers and Ministry of Justice

Ministry hosting the deed-registration department and overseeing the alternative dispute resolution secretariat. General contacts provide referral; they are not direct lines for every registry, tribunal or regional dispute-resolution centre.

Registrar General service handling leases, assignments, conveyances, mortgages and deed searches. Its ministry page documents these functions; the central contact is a referral route and published fees should be checked for current applicability.

Public administration

GRA

Gambia Revenue Authority

Revenue authority publishing rental-income, capital-gains and stamp-duty information. Its contacts and office directory provide taxpayer referral; municipal property rates remain distinct from national taxes and require the relevant local authority.

Public company

SSHFC

Social Security & Housing Finance Corporation

Public corporation managing a housing-finance fund and property programmes alongside social-security schemes. Its directory distinguishes mortgage and title-deed enquiries for its own operations; older project announcements do not establish current availability.

GIEPA

The Gambia Investment and Export Promotion Agency

National investment and export promotion agency providing administrative referral and information about business parks. Its entry point does not replace the land, environmental or construction approvals required for a particular investment project.

Public administration

GBoS

Gambia Bureau of Statistics

National statistical body disseminating census, survey and territorial data. Its contacts provide a route to relevant publications; reference periods and whether results are provisional or final should be checked before using housing indicators.

Kanifing local authority publishing municipal-service and property-rate information. Its contact and rates unit concern this municipality; permits and properties elsewhere need the responsible local counter, and national land-registration functions remain separate.

Public administration

MoLRG&RA

Ministry of Lands, Regional Government and Religious Affairs

Ministry responsible for land policy and coordination of lands, survey and planning departments. The approved national policy identifies its functions; current central contact details still need verification before an operational property enquiry.

Department handling surveys, cadastral mapping, valuation and preparation of public-land leases. It must be distinguished from the Justice Ministry’s deed registry and local customary authorities when identifying the office responsible for a particular property.

Department responsible for physical planning, development control and permit routing. The national policy distinguishes Banjul, Kanifing and regional planning authorities; the appropriate local office must be identified for each construction project.

Lawyers’ professional association identified by the International Bar Association. Its institutional entry provides a legal reference; the own website, current professional roll and direct secretariat contacts require confirmation before relying on a practitioner referral.

Alternative-dispute-resolution secretariat under Gambia’s Justice Ministry. The shared ministry contact provides a referral route for mediation, conciliation or arbitration enquiries.
