Investing on properties has never been easier with an abundance of options available in terms of types of properties and financing structures.

Land or property transactions are under the jurisdiction of the respective state governments. Property transactions are handled by departments such as the Department of Land and Mines, Land and District Offices as well as local authorities. 

The Department of Land and Mines is responsible for land development planning, land master registration, land data base, and land information searches. Land and District Offices are responsible for land-related transactions such as application, registration, subdivision, acquisition and quit rent collection. The Local Authorities are responsible for housing plan, certificate of fitness, house renovation, property assessment, and property taxes.

The Ministry of Housing and Local Government has prepared a guide for home buyers in its effort to be of service to Malaysian citizens who are interested on taking this step.
