Short story. The National Land Service under the Ministry of Agriculture was established on 1 July 2001. As of 1 July 2010, after the abolition of the county governors 'administrations, the National Land Service took over the land management divisions and other functions of the county governors' administrations related to land management.
Aiming to perform the taken over functions, 48 territorial land management divisions were established in the Service, serving the territories of all municipalities of the country. On April 2, 2012, the renewed administrative structure of the National Land Service with 50 territorial divisions entered into force.
The headquarters of the National Land Service in Vilnius and 50 territorial divisions employ more than 800 people. The National Land Service aims to be as accessible as possible to the population - decisions on the privatization or legalization of land for use free of charge are made in the territorial subdivisions of the National Land Service located in the territories of municipalities. The aim is to minimize the time between the submission of a person's application to acquire or lease land and the decision.
