Compliment/Complaint Procedure

As part of the Lands & Survey Department commitment to customer service improvement, we provide a Internal Compliment / Complaint Procedure. Members of the public who have been provided with exemplary or unsatisfactory service by a member of the Department staff can now lodge a Compliment or Complaint and have any concerns addressed. Both processes are explained below, with paper copies of these procedures available in our Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac reception areas.

The customer will be asked to complete and sign the Compliment/Complaint Form (the Form).  If they are unable to complete the form on their own they will be assisted by a member of staff;

  • Forms may be submitted in person, by mail, fax or email (details on the form).
