TOKİ Land Process: Required Documents and Professional Support

The Housing Development Administration of Türkiye (TOKİ) has launched the “My First Home Land” project across the country, offering low- and middle-income citizens the opportunity to build their own homes. However, owning a plot is only the first step. The real process begins with planning how to build your home on that land.

This article details every stage of the TOKİ land process, provides official documentation guidance, and most importantly, explains how you can simplify this challenging journey by working with a professional team like Yükselen Mimari.

How Does the TOKİ Land Application Process Work?

To apply for the “My First Home Land” project, certain conditions must be met. These requirements ensure that TOKİ prioritizes citizens who truly need housing, in line with the principle of social justice.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Must be a citizen of the Republic of Türkiye
• Must be at least 18 years old
• Must reside in or have family registry in the city/district where the project is located
• Monthly household income must not exceed 18,000 TL in Istanbul and 16,000 TL in other provinces
• Must not already own property (house or land)
• Must not have previously received housing or land from TOKİ
• Must pay the 500 TL application fee

Applications can be made through the e-Devlet system or via partner banks.

Lottery and Land Allocation

After the application process, a lottery is held before a notary public to determine both primary and substitute beneficiaries. If your name is on the primary list, the process officially begins for you.

First steps after the lottery:

• Payment of a 10% down payment and receipt of proof of payment
• Preparation of a notarized undertaking
• Signing a bank agreement with TOKİ

Payment Terms:
One of TOKİ’s biggest advantages is the interest-free payment plan. 10% of the land cost is paid upfront, while the remainder is repaid in equal installments over 9 years (108 months). Installments begin 1 year after the down payment.

How Do TOKİ Landowners Start the Home Construction Process?

Once you own the land, you must go through several stages before construction can begin:

• Checking the zoning status of the land
• Preparing an architectural project with an architect or engineer
• Submitting the project to the municipality to obtain a building permit
• Getting approvals for structural, electrical, and mechanical projects
• Starting construction
• Selecting appropriate materials and planning labor

Each of these steps requires technical knowledge, regulatory compliance, and time management. For many, managing this alone can be overwhelming.
