The regulation published in the Official Gazette by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change stipulates that 90% of the profits arising from the increase in the value of real estate due to zoning plan changes will be transferred to the public. The regulation aims to prevent unplanned urban growth and arbitrary zoning changes.
The "Regulation on the Implementation of Value Increase Share Regarding Zoning Plan Changes," which foresees the transfer of 90% of the profits arising from the increase in the value of real estate due to zoning plan changes, has been published by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change. With this regulation, it will be prevented that cities grow unplanned and arbitrary zoning changes occur.
"VALUE INCREASE SHARE" MADE MANDATORY
The "Regulation on the Implementation of Value Increase Share Regarding Zoning Plan Changes," prepared by the Ministry, has been published in the Official Gazette and has come into effect. According to the statement from the Ministry, with the amendment made under Law No. 7534, which was previously published in the Official Gazette, it has become mandatory to collect a "value increase share" from real estate whose value has increased as a result of the plan change.
90% WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE PUBLIC
With the new regulation, while aiming to prevent the unplanned growth of cities and arbitrary zoning changes, it will be ensured that 90% of the created value is transferred to the public. The value increase share in question will only be related to the increase in the value of the land.
EASIER PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR CITIZENS WILL BE PROVIDED
On the other hand, easier payment options will also be provided for citizens. A 10% discount will be applied for those who wish to pay the value increase share in advance. Property owners who wish can make installment payments.
Additionally, within the scope of the new regulation, a solution has been produced for real estate that is privately owned but was previously planned as public service areas such as official institutions, administrative facilities, schools, and health facilities, which could not be expropriated.
In this context, if public institutions no longer need these areas and the relevant administration approves, a plan change can be made here, thus lifting restrictions on ownership and preventing citizen grievances.
Moreover, it will be ensured that legal disputes between the public and property owners can be resolved without going through the litigation process.
The Ministry aims to ensure the planned development of cities with this regulation while increasing social benefit by ensuring that the public receives its rightful share.
