    How are service charges calculated according to the law?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Article (25) stipulates that an owner must pay Service Charges to cover the management and repair of common parts. This share is calculated based on the ratio of the Unit area to the total area of the property, using a method approved by the Director General. For the purposes of this calculation, the unit area recorded in the Real Property Register is used. This standardized approach ensures that costs are distributed fairly and transparently among all owners.
