The Moroccan government has presented a draft law to reform the legal framework governing housing subdivisions, known as "lotissements." The proposed legislation, submitted to the Interior, Local Authorities, Housing, and City Policy Commission of the House of Representatives, aims to address regulatory gaps and dysfunctions that have persisted for nearly three decades.
The draft law seeks to clarify procedures, enhance oversight, and establish clearer rules for the development, sale, and management of subdivided land. It is designed to protect the rights of buyers and ensure better urban planning outcomes, moving away from the informal practices and legal ambiguities that have characterized the sector.
This initiative follows years of criticism regarding administrative blockages and the proliferation of unregulated subdivisions. The reform is part of broader governmental efforts to modernize urban development policies and improve housing accessibility. The legislative process is now underway for parliamentary debate and approval.
