    Are there any special rules for properties in "Special Development Zones"?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Properties located in Special Development Zones are subject to the same unified real estate laws as the rest of Dubai. Specifically, Law No. (6) of 2019 regarding Jointly Owned Real Property and Law No. (4) of 2019 regarding RERA both explicitly state that they apply to these zones. This ensures that owners and developers in areas with unique planning rules still benefit from the same protections, dispute resolution, and regulatory oversight provided by the Land Department and RERA.
