The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing announced the most prominent features of the updated executive regulations for white land fees for 2025, which aim to support urban development efforts and stimulate investment in unexploited land within urban areas.
1. Drawing ratios
The tax on undeveloped land amounts to 10% of the land value, according to urban development priorities, and the rates vary according to priority:
10 % for maximum priority
7.5 % High Priority
5 % for medium priority
2.5 % for low priority
As for the lands located outside the priority zones, no fee is imposed on them, but they are counted within the total lands owned when applying the minimum areas subject to the fee.
2. Covers all uses
The regulation states that all uses of undeveloped land within approved urban areas are subject to the application of the fee, provided that the actual uses covered are determined by a decision of the Minister according to the geographical standards of each city.
3. Areas subject to drawing
The fees apply to land with an area or total area of 5,000 square meters or more, if it is owned by a single owner within the city.
