New Zealand's rural and farming properties present some of the most complex title arrangements in the country. From water take consents and stock access easements to conservation covenants and forestry rights, agricultural property titles carry layers of interests that can significantly affect land use, value, and development potential.

Rural property titles are inherently more complex than urban residential titles because of historical layers, resource use rights, and multiple users. A typical farm title may have 10-20+ registered interests compared to 2-5 on a standard residential title.
