    What is the penalty for not translating property contracts into Arabic?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Developers are under a strict regulatory obligation to ensure that all Real Property Unit sale or reservation contracts are translated into Arabic. Failure to provide this mandatory translation results in an administrative fine of AED 100,000. This requirement ensures that all legal instruments are accessible to the judicial system and compliant with the Emirate's official language standards,. It protects both the state's regulatory oversight and the transparency of the agreement for all parties involved in the transaction,.
