The Real Estate General Authority (REGA) announced today, Sunday, 18 Dhul Qi'dah 1445 Hijri, corresponding to 26 May 2024, the start of real estate registration in (7) areas encompassing (18) districts in Riyadh and Makkah. The registration period will continue until 25 Safar 1446 Hijri, corresponding to 29 August 2024.
REGA specified that the beneficiary districts in Riyadh City include: Al-Mahdiyah, Al-Khuzama, Arqah, Zahrat Laban, Al-Safarat, Namar, Al-Marwah, Shabra, Badr, and Al-Shifa. In Makkah, the targeted districts include: part of Al-Safwah, part of Dar Al-Salam, part of Al-Hijrah, the Dakher Project (including Al-Jummayzah and Rai Dakher), Masar Makkah Project Section One (including part of Al-Nuzhah and part of Al-Raseefah), and the Jabal Omar Project (including Jurham North District). REGA confirmed that these districts were selected based on specific criteria, and additional regions eligible for Real Estate Registry services will be announced in subsequent phases.
REGA urged property owners in the listed districts to verify their property title deeds and ensure they meet all required conditions—including possession of an updated electronic deed issued by the Ministry of Justice with complete ownership data—and to register their properties via the Real Estate Registry Platform. For inquiries about registration steps and procedures, beneficiaries may contact the customer service center at (199022).
It is worth noting that beginning from the announced registration date, a title registration deed will be issued for each registered real estate unit. This deed will include comprehensive property details such as descriptions, usage, condition, ownership data, associated rights and obligations, and a unique “property number” linked to accurate geospatial information. This system serves as the foundation for official ownership documentation, contributing to sector sustainability and enhancing the performance of key real estate enablers.
