• No non-resident of Guyana is entitled to be allotted a house lot, and a transportee who ceases to be resident — taken as residing outside Guyana for more than 183 days in a year — becomes liable to pay the current market value or have the lot repossessed.

Publication and timing

The gazette of Saturday 10 October 2026 was printed and published by Guyana National Printers Limited, 1 Public Road, La Penitence, Greater Georgetown, and carries the transports, mortgages and leases for the counties of Demerara and Berbice, together with companies, lands and surveys and trade marks notices. The Demerara transports listed in the supplement, including this one, are stated to be intended to be passed any day after 24 October 2026.

For applicants on the state housing register, the notice confirms that allocation at Plantation Anna Catherina is proceeding through formal transport rather than a mere promise of allotment, and it sets out the residency, ownership and construction deadlines that govern the allottees. Any person with a competing claim to the lot has the advertisement as the public record of the intended conveyance.
