# Land Occupation Route Finder — Orientation Sheet

**Status:** Interactive v1 live (client-side) · 2026-09-04
**Cluster:** 13 · Land occupation routes  
**Last reviewed:** 2026-09-04  
**Instrument type:** Decision checklist (qualification sheet)

This sheet is published content. It is **not** a determination by a mandate-holder. Zatra prepares and coordinates; this is not legal advice and names no advocate.

## Why this magnet exists

Choose whether the file is derivative right, lease or sub-lease — and write who actually holds what — before you budget construction.

## Qualification fields (fill before you contact the desk)

| Field | Your note |
|:---|:---|
| **Intended use** | |
| **Holder type** | |
| **Suspected route** | |
| **Document class held** | |
| **Jurisdiction** | |

## Orientation checks (self-serve)

1. **Name the right.** Derivative vs lease vs sub-lease.
2. **Labels on paper.** CoO vs contract.
3. **Parallel permits.** Building / change of use.
4. **No invented land rent figures.**

## What this sheet deliberately does not do

- Issue a title opinion
- Replace the Ministry of Lands or Zanzibar land authorities
- Interactive v1 is live on the resource page — deepen Land Occupation Route Finder
