The subsidiary title is monitored under the Sabah subsidiary regulation, Land (Subsidiary Title) Enactment 1972. Subsidiary title delay issuance from the Lands and Surveys Department has become a long argument between the government sector and strata scheme ownership. According to the NAPIC Property Report 2022, 104,368 strata properties were developed inside the Sabah market. Nevertheless, in the past, the Sabah Lands and Surveys Department has recorded that only 28,539 subsidiary titles have accomplished release towards 204 strata schemes. Despite that, these released subsidiary title performances from the Department indicated that strata schemes without subsidiary title issues were still ongoing until several strata owners faced an argument such as needing to be more successful in re-loan financial, strata management not being responsible by any parties, and another effect. The theory and discussion have been determined inside the industry. However, the objective of the research studies arises: 1) To examine factors causing the delays in the issuances of the subsidiary title in Sabah. Regarding the Sabah Lands and Surveys Department and applicants as the respondents of the research studies, this study has carried out qualitative methods, which will be implemented for the data collection through interviews with the respondents. Through the interview session with the respondents, they pointed out six of the factors often notified by the respondents during the subsidiary title procedure, which are the submission of master title, amendment approval development plan (DP), occupancy certificate (OC), delay approval, approval period from the District Surveyor, limitation of Sabah Land and Surveys Department’s printing system as well as the accumulated land revenue by the applicant. Each of the above has influenced the procedure of the subsidiary title.
