BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 21. Tajikistan has
successfully instituted a centralized, unified online property
registration network engineered to safeguard private asset rights
and establish structural transparency across the national real
estate marketplace, said Bobojon Gulzoda, Director of the State
Unitary Enterprise (SUE) "Registration of Immovable Property" of
Tajikistan, Trend
reports.


He made the remark during a panel discussion titled "Fair
Property Taxation as a Driver of Sustainable Urban Development,"
held within the framework of the 13th session of the World Urban
Forum (WUF13) in Baku.


According to him, the State Unitary Enterprise "Registration of
Immovable Property" was originally established under an executive
decree by the government of Tajikistan dated March 2, 2017, while
operational deployment of registration procedures utilizing
modernized methodologies officially commenced in January 2016.


Gulzoda noted that state engineers initially rolled out pilot
administrative zones to test the framework, after which the
architecture underwent comprehensive national deployment in strict
compliance with the statutory law of the Republic of Tajikistan "On
State Registration of Immovable Property."


He emphasized that following a meticulous review of
international best practices—incorporating the specialized
administrative workflows of Belarusian land management
agencies—Tajikistan successfully developed its proprietary
electronic property registration platform between 2015 and
2016.


"Subsequently, in February 2025, our agency commissioned a
completely upgraded information network for registering immovable
property. Within this refreshed digital architecture, engineers
successfully eliminated the operational structural deficiencies of
the legacy system while integrating entirely new specialized
modules to manage technical inventories and land management files,"
Gulzoda reported.


According to the director, all regional subsidiary branches now
maintain continuous data links to a centralized server network,
operating seamlessly via a real-time online "Single Window"
administrative layout.


He pointed out that the platform yields vital macroeconomic
utility by guaranteeing the legal protection of property titles,
facilitating secure notary transactions, streamline collateral
verification for commercial bank financing, and driving market
transparency alongside highly efficient municipal tax collection
workflows.


Gulzoda concurrently announced that building upon this primary
digital framework, the state enterprise has engineered unified
personnel and financial management sub-systems, which currently
undergo active deployment in a test-bed phase.


"Furthermore, our technical teams are aggressively compiling a
comprehensive digital repository. Textual records and historical
paper registries preserved since the Soviet era are undergoing
systematic data entry into our centralized master database," the
director concluded.







Today marks the fifth day of WUF13 in Baku.
