Completing the legalization process gives your property full legal standing. This means you can freely sell it, gift it, pass it down as inheritance, use it as collateral for a mortgage, and have all your deals officially notarized. The "Protective Application" locks in your rights now, and the rest of the process brings your property all the way to that fully legal status.
"Protective Application" by Jan 1, 2026 • Save up to 90% • Pay over 30 years
Filing your application on time unlocks major financial benefits, including discounts of up to 90% and payment plans that can stretch up to 30 years. This is your chance to legalize your property for the lowest possible cost.
Those who fail to apply risk losing their property • The state can declare it government property.
If you don't file an application, your property is essentially "off the books." This gives the state the right to claim it as its own. Meanwhile, you would lose all power to manage or transact with your property and could even risk forfeiting your ownership entirely.
