Other houses, whether in unwalled villages or on open land, reverted to the owner in the Year of Jubilee (25:29-31). If the owner decided to redeem it, he had to pay a surcharge of 20 percent. If the house was not redeemed in the first year, it became the property of the sanctuary and priests, and it could be used however they wished.
