The Ministry of Housing has issued the first bills under the first phase of the Undeveloped Land Fees Program in Riyadh, which covers land located within the geographic area designated by the Ministry that has not been developed and has an area of 10,000 square meters or more, This follows the completion of the screening and appraisal procedures for lands registered by the end of the six-month registration period specified in the executive regulations, which ended on 13\/3\/1438 AH, and the determination of which lands are subject to the program.<\/p>\n
The total number of plots subject to the fee in the city of Riyadh reached 245, with a total area exceeding 100 million square meters, noting that this figure may increase or decrease following the objection period, for which the system has set a 60-day deadline from the issuance of the decision to subject the land to fees, or after development is completed within a maximum period of 12 months, The Ministry is also currently working to sort through the plots registered after March 13, 1438 AH, in addition to identifying those who have violated the provisions of the law and regulations by failing to register their plots to date.<\/p>\n
The General Supervisor of the White Land Fees Program, Engineer Muhammad bin Ahmad Al-Madiheim, explained that the appraisal procedures for lands registered on the website have been completed by the \u201cLand Valuation Committee.\u201d He noted that the bills for Jeddah and Dammam will be announced in the middle of next month, confirming that the review of registered lands revealed that some are not subject to the system for various reasons, including their location outside the targeted area, some are smaller than the specified area, some are in cities that have not yet been designated, and some have regulatory exemptions as specified in the regulations.<\/p>\n
He noted that the ministry has established three criteria for land to be subject to the fee program in its first phase: the land area must be 10,000 square meters or more, not have a development plan that has been definitively approved by the competent authorities, and be located within the scope specified by the Ministry in the designated cities. He noted that if even one of these conditions is not met, the land will not be subject to the fee system.<\/p>\n
Regarding the evaluation criteria following the classification of land subject to the program, Al-Madiheim stated that the evaluation is governed by the program\u2019s regulations, which include the land\u2019s location and other factors; details on the evaluation mechanism can be found on the \u201cWhite Lands\u201d website.<\/p>\n
Engineer Al-Madiheim explained that the Ministry intends to collect land fees through the \u201cSaddad\u201d service, either by paying at bank branches using the Ministry of Housing\u2019s bill number 171, via ATMs, or through the banks\u2019 websites. The Ministry has also added eight e-services to streamline land registration procedures and enable users to complete their transactions online without having to visit the Ministry\u2019s building or relevant agencies. These services include land registration applications, the \u201cMy Requests\u201d service, reports, results, assessments, the objection service, invoices, and the notifications service. The Ministry will also use text messages to notify landowners that their land is subject to fees.<\/p>\n
He noted that landowners who are not registered on the Land Fees System website will be subject to a fine of up to 2.5%, with an additional fee of the same percentage, bringing the total to 5 % of the land\u2019s value, He emphasized that through electronic integration with various relevant government agencies, the Ministry will be able to identify land subject to the fee system whose owners have failed to register it on the designated website.<\/p>\n
The Land Fees Program is one of the Ministry of Housing\u2019s programs and initiatives; it aims to curb monopolistic practices and support a balance between supply and demand in the real estate market, thereby providing housing units and developed land at affordable prices for all segments of society.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
