The Saudi real estate market is seeing a new trend toward regulating the use of land and buildings within urban areas by imposing fees on Vacant Properties<\/a><\/strong>, in a move aimed at addressing one of the most significant challenges facing the sector\u2014namely, the abundance of unused buildings and their impact on the balance of supply and demand in the real estate market.<\/p>\n

I clarified Ministry of Municipalities and Housing<\/a><\/strong>, through an infographic, the concept Vacant Properties<\/a><\/strong> These are buildings located within urban areas that have been left unused for long periods of time without an acceptable justification, which negatively affects the supply of real estate in the market and hinders efforts to achieve balance and urban development.<\/p>\n

According to the regulations, the government imposes an annual fee on Vacant Properties<\/a><\/strong> Not to exceed 5% of the comparable rent, which is an estimated rental allowance calculated based on various criteria such as location, area, type of use, and structural condition, within the same urban area and for a comparable time period.<\/p>\n

These fees apply to all types of vacant real estate, unless exempted by the government, with the possibility of raising the fee rate to 10% with the approval of the Council of Ministers, if there are regulatory and economic justifications.<\/p>\n

This measure aims to reduce the practice of holding real estate without putting it to use, and to encourage owners to develop them or offer them for sale or rent, thereby enhancing land-use efficiency and supporting the achievement of Saudi Vision 2030\u2019s goals of improving quality of life and increasing the supply of residential and commercial properties.<\/p>\n

Those interested can contact the ministry via its website, idlelands.momah.gov.sa, or through its official account, @Lands_sa, for more information about the requirements and details regarding the fees.<\/p>\n

Vacant property fees serve as a regulatory incentive to ensure the effective utilization of real estate assets, and they help accelerate the pace of urban development and create a more balanced investment environment in the Kingdom\u2019s cities.<\/p>\n
