Argentina (AR) — civil law.

Nothing on this page describes United States practice. There is no certificate sold to an investor, no administrative sale of land for unpaid tax, and no redemption window after a subasta judicial in Argentina. If you arrived carrying US assumptions, read falsos-amigos first.

Ley 14.005 — venta de inmuebles fraccionados en lotes y a plazos

Ley 14.005 is a mid-century national statute written to protect families buying a lote in instalments from a developer (loteador). It still governs a large share of the peri-urban land market. This page is the statute overview. What happens when such a lot, or the developer’s remaining land, reaches a subasta judicial is covered on loteo-y-ley-14005, which this page does not repeat.

We ask for one because writing these from primary sources is slow work, and knowing who relies on it tells us which country to do next.
