OTHER RELEVANT LEGISLATION

Apart from the Constitution and the Civil Code, numerous other pieces of legislation, by-laws, and policy instruments regulate property law in Iran. These include the Registration of Deeds and Properties Act 1930, which regulates registration of properties, particularly land ownership.

However, registration of proprietary interests is not mandatory, except for those interests that have already been registered. In practice, this means that people can have proprietary interests without official registered docu­ments. This means that the traditional Islamic law forms of evidence, such as witnesses, are required to prove proprietary ownership in relation to interests which are not registered. In practice, the majority of properties in modern towns and cities are registered and regulated by the Registration of Deeds and Properties Act 1930 and other similar by-laws. However, there are proprietary interests in rural areas where modern registration documents may not be available.

The Urban Land Act 1987 regulates the ownership of the dead land around cities and towns. According to s6, the dead land around the cities vests with the State of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Since this legislation was adopted, the Ministry of Housing and local governments have granted lands to individuals and corporations and have issued ownership documents for the grantees of those lands.
