Selling property in Morocco: What is radically changing with the new digital reform

Morocco is launching a digital revolution to facilitate real estate transactions. A joint circular from the Ministries of the Interior and Finance now mandates the complete dematerialization of the certificate of payment of taxes related to the property sold. The objective is to eliminate the complex paper procedures that delayed files for weeks, in favor of a digitized process guaranteeing a response within 48 hours.

The procedure is based on the "SIMPL/Attestation" platform of the Directorate General of Taxes to issue an instant information sheet. If debts are detected, the seller can immediately regularize them online to obtain their document within two days. Notaries and adouls then use the portals of the General Treasury of the Kingdom to finalize the request for a certificate, necessary before the signing of any final deed of sale.

This new system integrates the municipal tax collectors, now recognized as public accountants, into this simplified digital chain. The Treasury has adapted its electronic services to allow simultaneous verification of the tax situation of the property by all the administrations concerned. This automatic information sharing requires each stakeholder to respond within a strict 48-hour deadline to avoid blocking the transaction.

To unblock the market, the ministries specify that obtaining this tax clearance is only conditional on the payment of taxes specific to the property concerned by the sale. The owner is no longer required to settle their other personal tax debts unrelated to the object of the transaction. This clear framework aims to secure the work of professionals, improve the business climate, and respond to citizens’ expectations in terms of public service.
