Buying industrial land in Morocco requires seven checks: ANCFCC title deed (certificate under three months old), zoning via the urban planning information note, servicing of the four networks, soil bearing capacity, heavy-truck access, price (median MAD 550/m², from 200 to over 2,000) and ancillary costs of 6 to 8%.
Industrial land is the least transparent segment of the market: no two plots are alike, and defects rarely show. Run these seven checks in order.
The seven verifications
- Land title — demand an individual title (titre foncier) and pull a recent certificate from ANCFCC; avoid unresolved inheritance situations;
- Zoning — obtain the planning note (note de renseignements): the plot must be classified industrial (I1/I2 or equivalent) for your activity;
- Servicing — water, electricity, sanitation, telecom: on-site or at what distance and cost?
- Bearing capacity — a geotechnical study before purchase avoids foundation surprises that can cost more than the land;
- Access — legal access width, truck turning, future road projects;
- Easements — power lines, pipelines, rights of way, flood zones;
- Real price — compare with actual zone transactions: our national median sits around 560 MAD/m², with wide spreads by servicing and location.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of industrial land in Morocco?
Median around MAD 550/m² for plots near 8,000 m²; 200 to 300 in secondary cities, over 2,000 in the saturated zones of Greater Casablanca.
How to check a plot's land status?
Require an ANCFCC title deed and an ownership certificate under three months old with no mortgage or objection; beware of pending registrations, joint ownership, collective or guich land.
How to know if land is buildable for industry?
Through the urban agency's planning information note: zone (I1, I2, activities), floor-area ratio, permitted height and setbacks.
Bare or serviced land: which to choose?
Bare land at MAD 300/m² can end up dearer than serviced land at 700/m² once power, water, sewerage and roads are brought in.
