HLURB Board Resolution No. 748-2003approved 17
September 2003
Further Relaxing the Requirements for the
Issuance of Certificate of Registration and
License to Sell
12
HLURB Resolution 748 s. 2003

• DAR Conversion Order no longer required as a
  precondition for issuance of Certificate of
  Registration and License to Sell a in cases where
  the property involved is located in an area
  already classified as residential, commercial,
  industrial or similar development purposes as
  provided in CLUPs approved pursuant to EO 72 s.
  1993

13
HLURB Resolution 748 s. 2003

• Conditions
• Land must be classified as non-agricultural
  pursuant to approved CLUP/Zoning Ordinance
• Grantees must still comply with existing laws
  (e.g. DAR Conversion)

14
Rationale for HLURB Resolution 748

• Lands already classified as residential,
  commercial, industrial and other similar
  development purposes in CLUPs/Zoning Ordinances
  approved by the Board or Sangguniang Panlalawigan
  are no longer agricultural
• EO 72 s. 1993

15
Rationale for HLURB Resolution 748

• Issuance of Certificate of Registration and
  License to Sell by Board does not exempt
  grantees from compliance with and is without
  prejudice to the provisions of existing laws

16
Rationale for HLURB Resolution 748

• PD 957 does not explicitly require DAR Conversion
  Certificate as a requirement for issuance of
  License to Sell

17
Rationale for HLURB Resolution 748

• HLURB does not have the resources to enforce
  compliance to the requirements of other agencies.
