Collective Housing Permit in Riyadh City

Collective Housing Permit in Riyadh City, Everything You Need to Know Before Applying:

The city of Riyadh is witnessing rapid urban growth, which has increased the demand for collective housing buildings — whether for workers, employees, or students.

To ensure the safety of residents and the compliance of facilities with regulations, the Riyadh Municipality now requires obtaining a Collective Housing Permit before operating any such building.

In this article, we explain — through ABAK Engineering Consultancy — the key requirements, steps, and the role of engineering offices in facilitating the permit process.

A Collective Housing Permit is an official authorization issued to individuals or companies wishing to operate a building as shared accommodation for multiple residents who are not from the same family.

The permit ensures that the building complies with fire safety, health, and structural regulations, and that it is suitable for collective occupancy in terms of design, space, and capacity.

Requirements for Obtaining the Collective Housing Permit in Riyadh

To issue the permit, several documents and technical approvals are required, including:

• Municipality approval for the building location.

• Civil Defense approval after inspection of fire safety and protection systems.

• Commercial registration certificate (for business entities).

• Building completion certificate to verify building readiness.

• Accurate site location on the Balady platform map.
