The article presents the analysis of the requirements for the purchase of country’s vacant lands and possessions related to the region of the Santa Catarina Plateau, specifically the Lages term and the Curitibanos and Campos Novos parishes. The empirical data show that, because it is an expanding agricultural and settlement frontier in the 19th century, the Santa Catarina plateau was occupied by different political and social assemblages, which had repercussions on different property regulation strategies.
