    Does the jointly owned property law apply to free zones?

    Yes, the provisions of Law No. (6) of 2019 apply to all Master Projects and Jointly Owned Real Property throughout the Emirate. This explicitly includes properties located in Special Development Zones and free zones. This unified legal framework ensures that management standards, owner rights, and financial obligations are consistent across all of Dubai's major real estate developments. Consequently, owners in free zones benefit from the same RERA oversight and dispute resolution mechanisms as those in the rest of Dubai.
