About this Section

Section L of the SSIC covers real estate activities. It groups operations involving the buying, selling, renting and operating of own or leased real estate โ€” residential buildings, dwellings, non-residential buildings such as offices, malls, industrial premises, exhibition halls and self-storage units, and land โ€” as well as the development of building projects for own operation. The section also includes real estate activities performed on a fee or contract basis: real estate agencies, brokerage and intermediation, valuation, property management of residential and commercial buildings on behalf of owners, ownersโ€™ association management, and the administration of leased units and shopping centres.

For Saudi market participants these codes are aligned with licences and registers maintained by the Real Estate General Authority (REGA), the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing, the Ejar network and the off-plan sales platform Wafi. The chosen four-digit SSIC code influences eligibility for the Real Estate Investment Funds regime supervised by the CMA, VAT and Real Estate Transaction Tax (RETT) treatment, registration of brokers and valuers under FAQEEH, and reporting obligations to GASTAT.

This page presents the single division of Section L with English and Arabic titles, the official numeric code from the January 2025 edition of the SSIC, and a link to related HS customs tariff items for real estate-related equipment.
