The “White Lands” program announced the disbursement of 8.2 million riyals to complete the implementation and delivery of infrastructure services in the Hail housing project, indicating that this amount represents part of the program’s revenues collected from fees imposed on white lands located within the urban area in cities subject to the system within its first phase.
The program explained that Article Fifteen of the Executive Regulations for White Land Fees stipulates that the amounts collected shall be spent on developing infrastructure projects according to the following text: “The Ministry shall determine the ways of spending - from the account for the amounts of fees and fines collected - on housing projects, connecting public utilities to them, and providing public services in them.”
The program confirmed its continued allocation of revenues collected from fees to develop infrastructure projects and deliver public services in a number of housing projects belonging to the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing. It will work during the coming period to follow up on the needs in a number of housing projects, indicating that the expenditures include the construction of power stations and the delivery of electricity and water services.
It is worth noting that the "White Land" program recently announced the implementation of fees in several cities, including Medina, the Asir region, Taif, Jazan, Tabuk, and Al-Ahsa, in addition to Riyadh, Mecca, the Dammam metropolitan area, and Jeddah. The program is working to finalize preparations for implementing land fees in additional cities.
