Questions

Service charges in Dubai, answered

How are service charges calculated in Dubai?

As a rate per sqft per year, multiplied by the size of your home on the title deed. A 420 sqft studio in a building charging AED 9.86 per sqft pays about AED 4,141 a year.

Who pays the service charge, the owner or the tenant?

The owner. Service charges are billed to the owner of the home, not to a tenant.

Where can I check the official service charge for my building?

In the Dubai Land Department’s Service Charge Index, on its website or in the Dubai REST app. Choose the project, its use and the year to see the approved fees.

Why do service charges differ so much between buildings?

Because the budgets differ: the facilities, the size of the building, its age and its staffing all change the cost. In Downtown Dubai alone, the rates we hold run from AED 16.28 to AED 87.01 per sqft.

Do villas and townhouses pay service charges?

Yes, as a community charge. It is usually lower per sqft than an apartment’s, because there are fewer shared facilities to run.

How often do service charges change, and how current are these?

Budgets are drawn up and approved each year, so a rate can change from one year to the next. The rates here are the ones we hold on record for each building and can lag the current year: the DLD’s Service Charge Index has the approved fees for every year.
