The Greater Jerash Municipality has begun conducting field surveys and filling out the initial classification card for encroachments on state lands within the municipality’s area. Feld surveys were carried out to be delegated to the violators, provided that the encroachment was a building that existed before September 2018, Mayor Ahmed Hashem Al-Atoum told the Jordan News Agency (Petra). Al-Atoum said these surveys are supervised by a joint committee of various competent government institutions without charging any fees from citizens directly, and payments are limited after conducting an appraisal of the value of the land and signing an official authorization agreement. Al-Atoum called for visiting the municipality’s organization department during official working hours and filling out the necessary form for those whom the committee did not visit and filling out the form for them.
