    How are fees for registering a contract for Musataha calculated?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    A Musataha contract, which grants the right to use and develop another person's land, has a specific registration fee based on the contract's value. The fee is one percent (1%) of the total consideration paid for the Musataha contract. Transferring an existing Musataha contract also costs 1% of the consideration. For administrative changes, such as amending or terminating the registration of a Musataha contract, the Land Department charges a flat fee of AED 1,000.
