LAND OWNERSHIP SYSTEMS IN UGANDA.
The ownership of land in Uganda is derived from the land tenure systems established by the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda.
Article 237 states the various tenure systems through which Ugandans can own land and they include the freehold tenure, leasehold tenure, mailo and the customary land tenure.
The same land systems are operationalized under Section 3 of the Land Act which makes detailed provision for each of the mentioned systems.
FREEHOLD TENURE.
Section 3 of the land Act defines freehold tenure as tenure of land ownership which derives its legality from the Constitution and the incidents from written law.
Article 237 of the Constitution states that freehold tenure is one of the systems under which citizens of Uganda may own land.
Under Section 3 (2)(b) of the Land Act, the holder of an estate in freehold has got full power of ownership which include use and development of the land for any lawful purpose.
LEASEHOLD TENURE SYSTEM.
Leasehold tenure is one of the systems of land ownership in Uganda as provided by the Constitution in which one party grants to another a right to exclusive possession of land for specific period of time subject to fulfillment of certain conditions that may include Payment of fees called RENT as per the lease contract.
Under Section 40 of the Land Act, A lease may be granted for any period except in the case of a lease granted to non-citizen of Uganda which shall not exceed 99 years.
A lease may be granted by an owner of land holding it in either customary, mailo or freehold tenure system.
MAILO TENURE SYSTEM.
It is one of the land tenure systems under which Ugandans hold ownership of land. It derives its incidents from the 1995 Constitution and written law of Uganda.
It is also illustrated under Section 3(4) of the Land Act.
The Act recognizes the rights of lawful or bonafide occupants and those of their successors in title as per both written and customary law.
CUSTOMARY LAND TENURE SYSTEM.
Customary land tenure is a system of land ownership governed and regulated by customary principles and usually sanctioned by customary authority.
It is one of the four land tenure system recognised by the Constitution of Uganda under Article 237(3).

Most of the land in Uganda is owned under the customary tenure system across the community save, for Buganda which is under Mailo system following the 1900 Agreement.
