This study assesses the impact of the land registration system on local revenue collection within Jimma City Administration. Emphasizing the significance of registering land and land-related properties, the research examines how such registration can enhance land management, foster development, and generate substantial land-related revenue. The study has three key objectives: firstly, identifying institutional, technical, financial, and motivational factors in the land registration system; secondly, analyzing mechanisms for improving the land registration system; and thirdly, examining the relationship between land registration and tax revenue.

The research employs a probability sampling method, and the findings reveal that a significant percentage of the sampled respondents (86%) possess knowledge about land registration. Additionally, experts in the field acknowledge the importance of land registration for revenue collection in the study area. The study underscores a complementary relationship between land registration and revenue collection, and it traces the trends of revenue change attributed to the land registration system. Furthermore, the introduction of a cadastral system is shown to have a positive impact on revenue collection.
