Who can buy
Under the Ownership of Real Estate Law of 2019, foreign individuals and companies may own property in Jordan once the Department of Lands and Survey grants a permit for that specific property. Smaller plots are approved by the Department's Director; larger ones need the Minister of Finance or the Council of Ministers. A permit is generally valid for one year.
Foreigners may not own property in border, archaeological or historical areas. The law also sets periods within which land must be developed before it is resold. Parliament reviewed amendments on foreign residential ownership in 2026, so confirm the current position with a Jordanian lawyer.
The capital's most sought-after villa and apartment districts, home to embassies and private clubs.
A new downtown of towers, offices and the Abdali Boulevard.
Marina and lagoon communities such as Ayla, inside a special economic zone.

Transfer fees and taxes are paid at the Department of Lands and Survey when title is registered. Rates differ for apartments and land and have changed in recent years, so ask your lawyer for the current schedule. Aqaba's special economic zone has its own rules.

Three ways to buy
Not every buyer arrives on holiday. Whichever way you buy, every buyer is pointed to a licensed Luxury Real Estate Agency or Developer in the Territory.
Many buyers discover a place as guests, return to view homes in person and buy on a later visit. Our guides to resorts, flights and cities help plan the journey.
Many international buyers own before they ever visit. They view homes and projects by video and virtual tour, work with a licensed agency, developer and lawyer, and sign and pay from home, often through a power of attorney where the law allows.
Funds, family offices and companies buy whole floors, buildings and portfolios. Tell us your mandate and we will point you to developers and agencies with the scale and investor relations to match.
Rules for foreign buyers differ by country and change over time; confirm them with a lawyer before you commit. Leading Luxury Real Estate law firms and lenders, country by country. Register your interest.
