This article discusses the submarket of informal plots on communal land in the city of Lima. The central hypothesis is that the policy of land liberalization has stimulated a greater presence of informal markets, which translates as new forms of illegality. In the case of communal property, economic agents resort to supposedly non-commercial land transfers which, in reality, seek that sellers do not share the profits on land rent with the community as a whole. These markets are mainly political, because the authorities encourage sales under political or economic profits (corruption). The methodology is embedded in a social and economic orientation, and a qualitative method and a statistical review were used.

Keywords : submarket of informal plots; peasant community; State; typology.
