Maryland will be the seat of the elected government once the city is ready to hold general elections for the post of prime minister and his appointed cabinet. This will be the only district where two owners will share the same unit. In other words, there will be two 5 level houses per floating unit. The typical residential property in this district will have a total unit size of about 12x22 meters, and each house will be about 8x9 meters with a renewable 99-year leasehold (where you buy only the property, the site remains property of the leaseholder).

​District Governance

District Administration and Representation in Congress
The district is administered by a Governor who is elected by the people for a term of four years. The Governor has a seat in the House of Representatives (The Congress of Mount Vema) where he/she works to protect the interest of the district. 

When district elections take place, the district neighbourhoods also elect their Representatives for Congress for a term of four years.
Maryland District Tax: 1100 golles per year
Levy on the District of Maryland property. District Tax is a taxation system introduced before the construction of the city of Mount Vema is completed to help off-plan buyers (owners of Mount Vema title plans) to better manage their long-term financial plans.
​
Liability for District Tax
The occupiers of a property are liable, regardless of tenure, or the owners if the property is unoccupied, except if the property is a 'house in multiple occupation', in which case the landlord is liable for paying the District Tax.
