Rural property owners located in the border strip have until October 22, 2025 to regularize their real estate records. The requirement is provided for in Law No. 13.178/2025, which deals with the rectification of public land records located in border regions.

Lawyer Kátia Siqueira Sales warns that the measure directly impacts the state of Acre, where 77% of the territory is inserted in the border strip. “This affects landowners in several Acre municipalities and also in cities of Amazonas, such as Boca do Acre, Canutama, Labrea, Pauini and Envira,” he explains.
In the state of Acre, the cities that have much of their affected territory are: Cruzeiro do Sul, Feijó, Jordão, Mâncio Lima, Manoel Urbano, Marechal Thaumaturgo, Porto Walter, Rodrigues Alves, Santa Rosa do Purus and Tarauacá, Acreland, Assis Brasil, Brasileia, Bujari, Epitaciolândia, Placido de Castro, Rio Branco, Senador Madureira Guiomard and Xapuri.
According to the new legislation, all real estate records of rural real estate must be ratified, except those who are being questioned judicially or administratively or who are the subject of expropriation for agrarian reform.
It is important to note that the riverside community and family farmers will be strongly affected by this change and this vulnerable group will need special assistance to adjust documentation.
For regularization, owners need to present to the Real Estate Registry Offices the following documents: Real Estate Registration Rectification Application, Complete Property Chain, Rural Property Registration Certificate (CCIR), Rural Territorial Tax Declaration (ITR), Rural Environmental Registration Receipt (CAR), Georeferencing of Property and proof of lack of impediments for ratification.
In the case of properties that have more than fifteen tax modules, the rectification will only be granted by certification with the National Rural Registration System of the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Incra).

“The owners need to be aware, because the period of ten years for regularization was started with the publication of the law and ends on October 22, 2025. Regularization guarantees the legal certainty of land and avoids future judicial problems,” says Kátia Siqueira Sales.
Given the proximity of the deadline, the lawyer recommends that interested parties seek specialized technical advice to ensure that all documentation is correct and that the records are ratified within the period stipulated by the legislation.
