  The worse customer service ever! They don't know what they're doing. Be prepared to wait several hours because the employees are so slow. They can do better come on!

  Paid property tax here. No problem. Staff not terribly friendly. Not busy on weekday afternoon.

  Dec. 2016. The most inept government department in all of Belize! Make sure you always keep all your records and receipts, or they will sell your land from under you to some foreigner. Never expect a land document to be processed in less than 3-6 months, although it can take up to 3 years and in some cases up to 5 years. The employees are lethargic and will rather play solitaire than do an honest days work. I will be happy to change this review when things improve. You will not get any help without a bribe. $20 dollars at every turn, and $200 will be necessary in some places.
  
  Update Nov. 2017 I did not know it was possible, but in the last year this Department has went even further down the drain many people now have their titles being held hostage. You have to pay enormous bribes and still can not get any paperwork done. Countless employees and ministers have illegally obtained lands through this Department in the last year. Beware, unless you have a special account full of money for bribes do not even try to purchase land.
