The Ministry of Housing has called on those responsible in the city of Riyadh to review the bills for the prescribed “white land” fees issued for the year 1439/1440 AH and to make payment within one year of the decision’s issuance.

The Ministry clarified that failure to pay the vacant land fees within the specified payment period will result in a late payment penalty of up to 2.5 % of the land’s value.

The deadline for paying white land fees in Riyadh expired yesterday, while the deadline in the Jeddah Governorate is April 8, in Dammam on May 6, 2018, and in Makkah on November 29.

The total number of payment orders in the four cities is approximately 1,548, covering a total area of 411.46 million square meters, as part of the first phase of the program to impose fees on vacant land.
