Abstract

This Law, consisting of 28 articles, establishes the State Code on Land. It defines the lands of the State of Mato Grosso as follows: a) transferred to their assets by the Federal Constitution of 24 February 1989; b) collected as inheritance; c) which are not, by legitimate title, under the control of third parties; d) river islands, located in its edge rivers; e) acquired by any other legal means. The State will recognize the municipalities in the domain of their urban and suburban lands, whose discrimination will be promoted by the interested municipality or by the Land Institute of Mato Grosso (INTERMAT), the size of which cannot exceed 3,000 hectares. In compliance with the federal legislation, public lands discriminated as unoccupied, under the control of INTERMAT, especially for reforestation purposes, private colonization and intensive agricultural exploitation, shall be used in rational plans of occupation. The rational plans of occupation will be elaborated by INTERMAT, through audience with the Secretariats of Agriculture, Planning and General Coordination.
