Integrated procedures with a period not exceeding 6 months

According to the Authority, the procedures begin with the project implementer submitting a request for expropriation or seizure to the Authority, where within 60 days the request is referred to a specialized committee to study it and issue the governor's decision either to approve or reject it.

Following that, the regulations grant the governor the authority to approve or reject the request for expropriation. Subsequently, the regulations give 60 days from the date of publication of the expropriation decision in the Official Gazette to inventory the property, including buildings, facilities or plantations, in preparation for the next stage.

After that, the regulations give a period of 60 days from the date of publication of the expropriation decision in the Official Gazette to inventory the property's contents.

Valuation of the property and payment of compensation

The Authority explained that it takes 90 days to evaluate the property and determine the value of compensation, followed by the same period to complete the justifications for disbursement and finalize the compensation procedures, including the evacuation of the property and the transfer of ownership to the beneficiary.

Guaranteeing rights and facilitating procedures

The Authority emphasized that it is committed to applying these timelines in order to accelerate the completion of procedures and guarantee the rights of citizens.
