The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) said applicants who previously owned property and sold it are not eligible to apply through Tawazoun, the Real Estate Balance Platform. 
In a post on X addressing frequently asked questions, the authority noted that residency in Riyadh’s suburbs does not qualify as living within the city’s urban boundaries. Eligibility is limited to those residing within the official metropolitan area.
RCRC added that applicants must be residents of Riyadh. In cases where residency is interrupted for work or study purposes, objections can be submitted for review by a committee.
It also said applicants who reside in Riyadh but whose work requires extended presence abroad may apply, with appeals allowed in case of rejection, supported by documentation via the platform.
It clarified that previous ownership includes agricultural land and commercial properties. Properties mortgaged to banks but registered under the applicant’s name also disqualify applicants.
RCRC recently launched Tawazoun Platform to receive applications from citizens seeking residential land in Riyadh. Applications are open until Oct. 23, with eligibility results to be announced starting Nov. 9, according to Argaam’s data.
