    How does the Dubai Land Department registration fee work

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 12/28/2025
    The Dubai Land Department or DLD fee is a mandatory one time tax paid to the government to register the property purchase. It is calculated as 4 percent of the total property value and is typically paid by the buyer along with a small administrative fee. This fee applies to both off plan and ready property transactions and must be paid upfront to secure the unit and issue the initial sale and purchase agreement or title deed.
