Parliament Approves Most of Real Estate Law
The Jordanian House of Representatives approved an amended bill to the Real Estate Law of 2026, which includes significant modifications regarding the regulation of non-Jordanians' ownership of land and property. The key amendments permit non-Jordanians to own residential lands outside designated urban areas, with a maximum size of 10 dunams, aiming to encourage investment and support private housing, while ensuring that border and archaeological zones are unaffected. Additionally, Parliament approved the rights of non-Jordanians to own real estate for residential purposes, with a defined ownership limit. The approval also covered procedures for negotiating compensation in cases of expropriation and included amendments to ownership permissions to enable government entities to acquire property for financing leasing purposes. Government officials emphasized that these amendments aim to strike a balance between encouraging real estate investments, protecting agricultural lands, and preventing uncontrolled expansion of property ownership. They also reaffirmed that the amendments do not impact ownership restrictions in sensitive areas and are aligned with national policies to preserve land.
