Housing Developer License



Housing Developer License


In Malaysia, a developer planning to construct and sell housing units requires a combined license known as the Advertising Permit and Developer's License (APDL). It essentially functions as both a development and sales permit.


Here's a breakdown of the APDL:


  • Issuing Authority:

  • The Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) grants the Housing Developers Licence (HDL), a prerequisite for the APDL.

  • The local housing authority issues the Advertising Permit (AP) component of the APDL.

  • Requirements:

  • The applicant company must be registered in Malaysia.

  • A minimum paid-up capital of RM2 million is necessary.

  • At least two directors must be Malaysian residents.

  • Benefits:

  • Provides legal authorization for developing and selling housing properties.

  • Offers some buyer protection against unscrupulous developers.


For further information on the APDL application process or the relevant act, you can refer to these resources:


  • Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966 (Act 118)

  • Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) website
