A Mutation Form is an official land survey document used to subdivide, amalgamate, or change the shape of a registered land parcel.
In simple words, it’s the legal form that records changes in the boundaries or size of land.
👉 Why is it called “Mutation”?
In land surveying, the word “mutation” means change.
So, a Mutation Form records a change from the original parcel to new parcels.
✅ WHEN IS A MUTATION FORM USED?
1️⃣ Subdivision:
When you split one big parcel into smaller plots.
➡️ E.g., splitting 1 acre into 8 plots of 50x100 ft.
2️⃣ Amalgamation:
When you merge two or more parcels into one.
3️⃣ Boundary Adjustment:
When you shift the boundary slightly to match actual ground position — after beacon confirmation.
📌 WHAT DOES A MUTATION FORM CONTAIN?
The original parcel number (L.R. Number)
-- New parcel numbers created
-- A simple sketch map showing the new boundaries and beacons
-- Measurements and area for each new plot
-- Signatures of the surveyor and landowner
-- Approval by the Lands Registry
