Oman’s property market is getting more transparent at the document level. The official Gov.om service page for requesting a usufruct contract<\/a> was updated on July 2 with fee, cadastral and registration details.<\/p>\n

Fees Are Small But Important<\/h4>\n

The page sets a 10-rial fee for each usufruct contract model renewal, cadastral drawing fees of 12 rials in Salalah and most Muscat wilayats, and registration fees at 1% of usable land value. Buyers and developers can now model the administrative layer more precisely.<\/p>\n

Muscat Land Needs Use-Specific Math<\/h4>\n

Usufruct rights can support development while land remains state-owned, but annual rental fees depend on use and area. That means warehouses, commercial plots and housing-related land should not be compared only by headline plot price.<\/p>\n

Sultan Haitham City Raises The Standard<\/h4>\n

As Sultan Haitham City phases advance, buyers will expect clearer public-service and land-procedure information across Muscat. Documentation quality becomes part of market confidence, especially for longer-horizon projects.<\/p>\n

Outlook<\/h4>\n

Oman’s second-half market should favour projects with transparent land rights and service-cost assumptions. Clear usufruct rules help, but buyers still need location, phasing and delivery evidence before committing capital.<\/p>\n

Local Watchpoint<\/h4>\n

Muscat developers should watch whether clearer usufruct fees shorten land-deal due diligence. If documentation improves but annual rental assumptions remain unclear, lenders and investors will still price risk into projects near Sultan Haitham City and other growth corridors.<\/p>\n
