All properties must have clear title in order to participate in the Section 184 Program. This is demonstrated using different methods, depending upon land type.
| a. | Tribal Trust and Allotted Trust Land. For properties on tribal trust or allotted trust land, HUD will accept a title status report (TSR) that has been signed and approved by BIA. BIA is responsible for recording the lease and security instrument on the TSR. |
| b. | Fee Simple Lands Within an Indian Area. These properties should be reviewed using a standard title search process through a private title company. |
