Ministry of Municipalities and Housing: 'Baladi' Platform Enables Electronic Issuance of Occupancy Certificates for Buildings

وزارة البلديات والإسكان: منصة "بلدي" تتيح إصدار شهادة الإشغال للمباني إلكترونيًا

No action neededAwareness

The Ministry of Municipalities and Housing announced that its "Baladi" platform now enables electronic issuance of building occupancy certificates, allowing beneficiaries to complete construction procedures without visiting municipal offices. Requirements include a building permit issued at least six months prior with no previous occupancy certificate, payment of service fees and outstanding dues, contracting with a licensed engineering office for non-residential uses, and a hidden-defects insurance document. Baladi also proactively issues a building compliance certificate once occupancy certificate procedures and fees are completed, without a separate application.
