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.

Excerpt from the Book
2.2. Cadasters and land registration
The ownership, value and use of land. Although independent in concept, arc interdependent in practice. Each attribute of land needs to be carefully managed and to achieve this there must be good land records: of ownership to ensure security of tenure; of value to ensure fairness in land and property taxation and equity in the compulsory acquisition of land for State purposes; and of the use of land to ensure efficient resource management. Every land administration system should include some form of land registration, which is a process for recording, and in some countries guaranteeing, information about the ownership of land. A right is something to which some person or group of person’s is entitled. The function of land registration is to provide a safe and certain foundation for the acquisition, enjoyment and disposal of rights in land.
A land administration system should provide order and stability in society by creating security not only for landowners and their partners but also for national and international investors and moneylenders, for traders and dealers, and for Governments. Although systems of land registration are frequently directed at protecting the interests of individual landowners, they are also instruments of national land policy and mechanisms to support economic development.
