The Land and Building Tax Act B.E. 2562 repealed that Act (section 3(6)) and has governed the tax on land since 1 January 2020 (section 2), so no new PBT 5 receipts are issued. Old receipts remain the usual paperwork for untitled land held by possession.

It is not under the Department of Lands or \u201cLand Department\u201d Office. The documents related Por Bor Tor are some kind of tax receipts showing the taxpayers name, . A Por Bor Tor 5 in Thailand is essentially a right of possession. The real owner is the government but the people can use this land for farm purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veuillez noter que les recherches concernant Por Bor Tor 5 peuvent s&#039;av\u00e9rer complexes.

They are often some \u201ctemplates\u201d from the land department, sometimes without proper witnesses, or without dates, clear indications of the land and what should protect a buyer or seller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until 2020 the local maintenance tax was paid every year, and the receipts were issued by the SAO or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/amphoe-or-amphur-district-office\/\">Amphur<\/a>. These records are meticulously maintained in books. Confirming ownership entails a thorough manual investigation. The value of the land is normally much lower than a \u201cchanotte\u201d title deed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"unpacking-por-bor-tor-5-in-thailand-pbt-5\">D\u00e9ballage de Por Bor Tor 5 en Tha\u00eflande (PBT 5)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Por Bor Tor 5 in Thailand (PBT 5) also referred to as \u201d maintenance tax\u201d or colloquially as the \u201cgrass tax \u201d was the tax the PBT 5 recorded. The receipt showed that the occupier had paid that tax to the local authority, usually the SAO, which kept the records and issued the receipt. It never proved ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"difference-between-pbt-5-and-land-title-documents\">Diff\u00e9rence entre le formulaire PBT 5 et les titres fonciers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Il est important de noter que le Por Bor Tor 5 en Tha\u00eflande <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/title-deeds-in-thailand\/\">est <strong>pas un document de titre foncier<\/strong> et n&#039;est pas d\u00e9livr\u00e9 par le D\u00e9partement des terres.<\/a> The SAO lacks the jurisdiction to confirm land ownership. Nor can a PBT 5 holder apply for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/sor-kor-1\/\">Sor Kor 1<\/a>: that form was a notification of possession filed with the district office in 1955, when the Land Code came into force, and none are issued today. It is not an \u201cownership\u201d but rather a right to \u201cpossess\u201d the land. The government is the ultimate owner of this property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Facteurs importants pour les transactions fonci\u00e8res<\/strong><br\/>Pour \u00e9viter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/fraud\/\">fraude<\/a> Dans le cadre des transactions fonci\u00e8res, il est essentiel de v\u00e9rifier la titularit\u00e9 de ces \u201c droits de possession \u201d aupr\u00e8s soit du chef de village (Poo Yai Baan), soit de l\u2019autorit\u00e9 locale (SAO). L\u2019origine du PBT 5 remonte \u00e0 plusieurs d\u00e9cennies, \u00e0 une \u00e9poque o\u00f9 des terres agricoles \u00e9taient disponibles pour une population en pleine croissance. Cette situation a conduit des particuliers \u00e0 occuper des terres ou \u00e0 d\u00e9fricher des for\u00eats \u00e0 des fins agricoles. En s\u2019acquittant de la taxe d\u2019entretien, ils pouvaient obtenir un certificat PBT 5 attestant de leur occupation des terres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"features-of-por-bor-tor-5-in-thailand\">Caract\u00e9ristiques de Por Bor Tor 5 en Tha\u00eflande<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L&#039;une des caract\u00e9ristiques des terrains d\u00e9sign\u00e9s PBT 5 est l&#039;absence de titre de propri\u00e9t\u00e9, d\u00e9livr\u00e9 par le D\u00e9partement des terres, confirmant la possession ou la propri\u00e9t\u00e9.<br\/>PBT 5 land can be sold. Unlike transactions involving titled land this process only transfers the right to use the land, not ownership. The government maintains ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In law, possession of untitled land passes when the seller hands the land over to the buyer (Civil and Commercial Code section 1378); no registration is needed (Supreme Court Decision 7740\/2555). Under the old tax, the buyer then had the taxpayer&#8217;s name changed at the SAO, which is administrative evidence of the handover, not a title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"risks-associated-with-buying-pbt-5-land\">Risques li\u00e9s \u00e0 l&#039;achat de terrains PBT 5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As PBT 5 land lacks certification from the Department of Lands there are risks involved. The land could already be occupied by another party, or classified as public land, reserved forest, mangrove forest, national park or military zone. The holder of a PBT 5 document has no authority to challenge any government reclamation of that land. These risks need to be acknowledged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toutefois, consulter le service des for\u00eats et les autorit\u00e9s militaires peut aider \u00e0 d\u00e9terminer si le terrain est class\u00e9 comme for\u00eat ou territoire militaire. Se renseigner aupr\u00e8s du service foncier permet de v\u00e9rifier si quelqu&#039;un d&#039;autre d\u00e9tient des droits de propri\u00e9t\u00e9 sur ce terrain. Les informations essentielles \u00e0 la v\u00e9rification comprennent les coordonn\u00e9es cartographiques et les num\u00e9ros de cadastre figurant sur le document PBT 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"discrepancies-in-pbt-5-land-size\"><strong>\u00c9carts, dans la taille des terrains PBT 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a possibility that the size of the purchased PBT 5 land may not match the information provided in the document. The declared area in Por Bor Tor 5 in Thailand is based on the occupants approximation not on surveying according to the Department of Lands mapping guidelines. If a survey is conducted later for the issuance of a land title document it could reveal a smaller area than the one stated in the PBT 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Est-il possible de convertir un terrain PBT 5 en titres de propri\u00e9t\u00e9 ?<\/strong><br\/>PBT 5 landowners can apply for title deeds when instructed by the government to convert their documents. The PBT 5 documentation will be used as supporting evidence for obtaining title deeds as long as the land is not within forest areas, military zones or land already titled to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les acheteurs ont la possibilit\u00e9 de demander aux vendeurs d&#x27;entamer la proc\u00e9dure d&#x27;obtention des titres de propri\u00e9t\u00e9 fonci\u00e8re en vertu de la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/land-code\/\">Code foncier<\/a> V\u00e9rifier si les titres de propri\u00e9t\u00e9 peuvent effectivement \u00eatre d\u00e9livr\u00e9s lorsque les autorit\u00e9s l\u2019exigent.

Ce num\u00e9ro leur permettra de faire une demande d&#039;enregistrement de leur foyer aupr\u00e8s du bureau de district. Apr\u00e8s leur enregistrement officiel, ils pourront proc\u00e9der aux d\u00e9marches pour le raccordement \u00e0 l&#039;\u00e9lectricit\u00e9 et au t\u00e9l\u00e9phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Il est possible de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/mortgage\/\">hypoth\u00e8que<\/a> structures et b\u00e2timents sur un terrain PBT 5 ; cependant, le constituant de l'hypoth\u00e8que doit \u00e9galement \u00eatre propri\u00e9taire de ces b\u00e2timents\/structures conform\u00e9ment aux lois sur les hypoth\u00e8ques.

The seller then owes nothing more, so the buyer could not force a boundary survey or claim the price back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supreme Court Decision 7740\/2555 (2012) held that a printed agreement to sell PBT 5 land was in substance a sale of possession, completed by handing over the land; when the buyer stopped paying and the seller sued for eviction instead of the price, the court treated the contract as mutually rescinded and ordered the 730,000 baht deposit returned (section 391). Whether a title deed can later be issued is a separate question for the Land Office, which will look at whether the land has been surveyed and whether neighbouring plots already carry title deeds or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/ns3\/\">Nor Sor 3<\/a> documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>La derni\u00e8re r\u00e9vision : 25 septembre 2026.<\/strong> Sections 2 and 3(6) of the Land and Building Tax Act B.E. 2562 were read in the Thai text, and Supreme Court Decisions 15551\/2553 and 7740\/2555 were read in full.
