Developers in Oman’s special economic zones and free zones must meet a threshold equal to 20% of a project’s cost and obtain approval before marketing off-plan units or taking reservation payments. The rules also require a project escrow account, limit marketing spending from it to 3%, and retain 5% of each unit’s sale value for one year after registration, according to Oman Observer.
