In Aruba there are two common types of land ownership:

Property Land (Eigendom)
You fully own both the land and the property.

Lease Land (Erfpacht)
The land is owned by the government and leased to the property owner under long-term conditions.

At R4 Aruba, we help clients understand the differences before making a purchase decision.

In Aruba there are several types of land classifications. Understanding the differences is important before purchasing property or land.

Eigendom (Full Ownership Land)

Eigendom means full ownership of the land. When you buy Eigendom land, you fully own both the property and the land it sits on.

This is the most secure and flexible form of ownership because there is no lease agreement with the government.

Lease Land (Erfpacht)

Lease Land, also known as Erfpacht, means the land is owned by the government of Aruba but leased to the property owner for a long-term period.

Key characteristics include:

• The buyer owns the building or property

• The land itself remains government property

• A yearly lease fee may apply

• Lease periods are typically long-term

Many residential properties in Aruba are built on lease land.

Land Aruba (Government Land)

This type of land may be:

• Available for lease

• Reserved for development

• Assigned for specific projects or purposes

The development or purchase of this type of land usually requires approval from government authorities.
