The Taif Municipality has warned against all forms of encroachment and illegal occupation of government land, noting the deterrent penalties that will be imposed, as well as the strict enforcement of sanctions, regulations, and instructions against such violations in accordance with the royal directives in this regard, as well as the circulars issued by the Emirate of the Makkah Region and the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, which mandate the removal of unauthorized structures and encroachments from the outset and the monitoring of all sites to ensure this phenomenon is contained.

The Taif Municipality had previously removed four unauthorized structures in the neighborhoods of Al-Rehab, Al-Wasiliya, Al-Salhuj, and the New Truck Route in northern Taif (Route 100), covering an area of 1,500,000 square meters.

The Taif Municipality clarified that the number of illegal and unauthorized courtyards and rest areas removed reached 28, in addition to the removal of concrete and steel barriers that had been installed for the purpose of planning and unlawfully seizing government-owned vacant land.
