All innovations and impacts for landowners, investors, and municipalities are here.

What Has Changed in the 2025 Zoning Rights Regulation?

A highly important regulation directly affecting the real estate sector in Türkiye has been published in the Official Gazette. The rules on parceling (land arrangements) and zoning rights have been reshaped. This development closely concerns both landowners and investors.

– Transfer of Zoning Rights

• Zoning rights of lands allocated for public service areas and not granted construction rights can now be transferred to other parcels.
• Thus, landowners who have long suffered grievances will now have the chance to use their rights in different areas.

– How Are Landowners’ Grievances Prevented?

A new era begins for landowners who have not been able to build for years. Now, thanks to the transfer of zoning rights:

• Pending projects can be realized.
• Property rights will be more strongly protected.
• Investment values will become more predictable.

– Land Readjustment Partnership Share (DOP) Limit

• DOP has been limited to 45%.
• For shares exceeding this rate, expropriation, donation, or exchange methods will be used.
• In this way, a fairer balance will be established between municipalities and citizens.

– Digital Parsid System: Tracking via e-Government

• Parceling plans will now be viewable in digital format.
• Citizens will be able to file objections through the e-Government portal.
• The process will become transparent, fast, and auditable.

– Coefficient Increase and Opportunities for Investors

• With the transfer of zoning rights, construction rights in receiving parcels can be increased by up to 30%.
• This offers higher value and profit potential especially for investors.

– Independent Valuation Requirement

• In all transfer processes, reports from CMB (Capital Markets Board) licensed valuation companies have been made mandatory.
• This step will enhance market transparency and prevent speculative pricing.

-The Meaning of the New Regulation for the Sector

• Landowners: Long-standing grievances will be resolved.
• Investors: A more predictable, transparent, and secure investment environment will be established.
• Municipalities: A faster, auditable process will be ensured through the digital system.

How Will It Affect Real Estate Prices?

This regulation may stimulate land supply, especially in metropolitan areas. With the transfer of construction rights, price increases may occur in certain regions. Urban transformation areas and developing districts may benefit more from this process.

A New Era Has Begun in Real Estate

The 2025 regulation may mark the beginning of a new era in land and real estate investments in Türkiye. A safer, more transparent, and digital process awaits investors.
