Sharqia Completes Nearly 99% of State Land Regularisation Requests

Egypt’s Sharqia governorate has recorded a 98.85% completion rate in handling applications to regularise the status of occupants of state-owned land, according to figures dated September 29, 2026.

The governorate received 21,428 applications from people seeking to formalise their occupation of state property.

The reported completion rate puts progress at nearly 99% of the applications received. The process concerns the legal status of land occupation, rather than new applications for land allocation.
