Quintana Roo Agency Moves to Title Parcels for 40 Families in Bacalar

Bacalar, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo Agency for Strategic Projects (AGEPRO) met with representatives of the San Isidro la Laguna community in the municipality of Bacalar to review progress on parcel titling and to walk families through the requirements and paperwork needed to obtain legal certainty over their land.

Officials said the session is part of the Nuevo Acuerdo por el Bienestar y Desarrollo de Quintana Roo, the state program promoted by Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa, which seeks to put residents at the center of government decisions and to address the needs of communities lacking legal security over their property and workplaces.

AGEPRO Director General Carlos Flores Hidalgo said close coordination with communities is essential to understanding their needs and moving forward with the procedures that give families legal certainty. He said working alongside community representatives will be key to gathering the information needed and continuing the titling of parcels that remain pending.

Program covers three Bacalar communities

Fanny Anel Tuz Andrade, AGEPRO’s director of territorial management, outlined the scope of the program, which covers lots and parcels in the communities of Mayabalam, Kuchumatán and San Isidro la Laguna — also known as La Laguna — in the municipality of Bacalar. The initiative is framed as support for former Guatemalan refugees and their children.

During the meeting, officials reviewed a list of people who still lack title to their parcels and provided guidance on the documents required to assemble their files.

As part of the agreement, AGEPRO will work with community subdelegate Favio Tut Choc and Santos Choc Cac, representative of the land committee, to identify the holders of parcels still awaiting titling. Once that information is compiled, officials will carry out verification and inspection visits in the field to complete the files, a process expected to benefit about 40 families.
