Ministry keen to provide housing options to citizens

Muscat: The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning launched the 'Exchange Your Land' service for facilitating and automating procedures and transactions through digital transformation.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning seeks to improve its services in line with its ambitious vision of 'sustainable urban development for prosperous communities', and to apply the principle of digital transformation in all services, including the government land grant system.

Since the issuance of Royal Decree No. (42/2021) regarding granting government lands, the Ministry has been keen to provide various housing options to citizens entitled for government residential plots, and to make the family a priority in these options, in fulfillment of Oman Vision 2040.

The starting point was “Choose Your Land”, which enables a citizen entitled to government residential lands to choose the appropriate plot according to interactive geographical maps showing the details of the plot within the available residential plans.

More than 25,000 beneficiaries benefited from it during 2023. This was followed by many housing options, such as “Own Your Land,” which allows the beneficiary to acquire distinctive land at a government-subsidised price in distinctive plans and locations with integrated services through interactive geographical maps that show the location and details of the plot.
