What Autoridad Nacional de Administración de Tierras does

The Autoridad Nacional de Administración de Tierras (ANATI) is the sole competent public entity for land administration in the Republic of Panama, established by Law 59 of 2010 and headquartered in Panama City. It consolidates the mandates formerly held by the National Cadastre Directorate, the National Agrarian Reform Directorate, PRONAT, and the Tommy Guardia National Geographic Institute. ANATI operates 13 provincial directorates and 10 regional offices covering Panama's national territory.

The agency's core services are property titling, cadastral certification, land regularization, and land concession administration. It runs mass-titling outreach programs (ANATI en Acción, ANATI Toca Tu Puerta) and is executing the Barrido Catastral Nacional and Catastro Multifinalitario (Multipurpose Cadastre) modernization programs. Digital channels operate 24/7 for procedure tracking, online cadastral certification, appointment scheduling, and payment processing. To date, ANATI reports more than 150,000 property titles granted and a 98% citizen satisfaction rate.

ANATI is funded through the Panamanian national budget allocation supplemented by service fees and concession revenue; it does not publicly disclose revenue or budget figures. It operates within a public-sector ecosystem that includes multilateral partners (PNUD, OAS/RICRP), the Spain Dirección General del Catastro (under a 2026 MoU), ACP, MiAmbiente, the Ministerio de Educación, and the Banco Hipotecario Nacional. Leadership comprises Administrador General Andrés Pagés Chanis, Subadministradora Rosario Cárdenas, Secretario General Ángel Dávila, and Directora Nacional de Titulación Gabriela Ruiz.

Core offering

ANATI is the national land administration authority of Panama, providing property titling (urban, rural, coastal, and insular under Ley 37 and Ley 80), cadastral certification, land regularization, geographic information services, and valuation/appraisal through a network of 13 provincial offices and 10 regional offices. It delivers these services through in-person consultations, 24/7 online portals, and door-to-door mass titling programs (ANATI Toca Tu Puerta), and manages national programs including the Barrido Catastral Nacional and the Catastro Multifinalitario modernization initiative.

Product overview

ANATI operates as a unified platform of digital services and national operational divisions for land administration in Panama. The core digital services include online procedure tracking (Consulta de Trámites), cadastral certification (Certificación Catastral), appointment scheduling for agrarian law procedures (Ley 37/Ley 80), and online payments. These are supported by eight national operational divisions: Titulación y Regularización (property titling), Información Catastral y Avalúos (cadastral data and valuations), Adjudicación Masiva (mass titling), Mensura Catastral (cadastral surveying), Instituto Geográfico Nacional Tommy Guardia (national mapping), and Tierras Indígenas y Bienes Municipales (indigenous lands). Key programs include ANATI en Acción (mass titling), ANATI Toca Tu Puerta (mobile titling), and the nationally-funded Barrido Catastral (cadastral sweeping). The institution is implementing a Catastro Multifinalitario modernization initiative with multilateral financing to create a unified cadastral information platform.

Regional players

• Catastro Territorial de Mexico (INEGI): Mexican national institute responsible for cadastre-adjacent cartography, geodetic and territorial information via INEGI. Comparable as a Latin American peer handling national geographic and cadastral data with significant rural titling mandates.
• Registro Publico de Panama: Panama's separate property registry institution that records and publishes property transactions. Sister Panamanian institution paired with ANATI's titling and cadastral functions under Law 59 of 2010; Catastro Multifinalitario aims to interoperate with it.

Direct peers

• Singapore Land Authority: Singapore's integrated land administration authority managing land tenure, cadastral surveys, and geospatial data. Operates an integrated titling-plus-geospatial model analogous to ANATI's combined titling divisions and Tommy Guardia institute.
• Land Information New Zealand (LINZ): New Zealand's government agency responsible for land titles, geodetic, and hydrographic information. Combines property registration with national mapping functions comparable to ANATI's titling plus geographic institute.
• HM Land Registry (UK): UK's non-ministerial department registering property ownership and providing land and property data. Comparable to ANATI's property titling and cadastral certification functions, though without ANATI's integrated geographic and mass-titling scope.
• Kadaster (Netherlands): Dutch Land Registry and Mapping Agency maintaining land registry, cadastral, and national geospatial data. Comparable to ANATI for its integrated land registration plus mapping mandate and emphasis on digital service delivery.
• Lantmäteriet (Sweden): Swedish mapping, cadastral and land registration authority. Operates an integrated cadastre, property registration, and geographic information mandate similar to ANATI's combined titling plus Tommy Guardia geographic institute functions.
• Instituto Geografico Nacional (Spain): Spain's national geographic institute producing official cartography, geodesy, and spatial data. Closely comparable to ANATI's attached Tommy Guardia National Geographic Institute in terms of photogrammetry, geodesy, cartography, and GIS capabilities.
• Direccion General del Catastro (Spain): Spain's national cadastral authority. ANATI signed a flagship MOU with this entity in July 2026 for technical cooperation, methodologies exchange, and digitization — making it the most directly comparable peer for cadastral management and territorial administration.

Others

• UNDP Land Tenure and Governance Programme: UN agency that partners with ANATI on land regularization in the Canal Hydrographic Basin. Functions as an enabling/donor partner rather than a direct competitor, but materially supports ANATI's land tenure security mandate.
