Tabian Bahn (Blue or Yellow)

[Super Joe]

Extract from a lawyers publication, hope its of use:

Buildings (apart from condominiums) do not have any form of title document, but their sale or long lease can be registered at the local Land Office. Proof of ownership should not to be confused with the House Registration document (Tabian Baan) or blue book (Thor.Ror.14) or yellow book for foreigners (Thor.Ror.13), which is only a register of the house and its occupants at the District Amphur. House registration book/ Tabian Baan is under Thai law an official document identifying the house. It gives the full address of the house at the book's first page. It is not necessary to have the name of the owner in the house book.

So how is proof of ownership demonstrated, whether Thai or farang?

We're talking building (house) only on the land:

Pre-land office house registration in your name:
From ..... Building permit in your name, house building contract in your name with payment receipts from developer, purchase contract/receipts from previous owner if re-sale.

Post-house registraton:
From ..... All of the above, tax receipt from land office for registration of house, house registration certificate from land office (separate document to land registration).

You have to go to the land office and purposely register the building (house) in your own personal dirty foreign name, if someone hasn't done that yet then they don't own the house as a separate entity to the land.

Hi Super Joe

Any ideas/tips on the best way to get the house registered in falangs name if the falang has shares in a company that owns the land that he wants to build the house on in hua hin?

[Super Joe]

Hi James,

Yes it should be a relatively easy one as you have not yet built the house.
First off after you get your Architects drawings apply for the Building Permit in your individual name. Sometimes they will give it in your name, sometimes they will only put it in a Thais name, ie your building contractors name, does not matter.
You have the house built and then go to the land office and request the registration of the building on the land into your personal name. Depending on the circumstances the land office may ask you to come back in 30 days time, that period is for you to post notice to the public of the proposed house sale so that anyone can object (solicitor does all this).

Also there may be some company meetings/paperwork required saying they agree to you building on their land (solicitor does all this).

Keep all building receipts/contracts/payments with your building contractor.


I've sent you a PM.

Cheers,

SJ
