What is a Property Transfer Fee in Dubai?

In Dubai, the property transfer fee, levied by the Dubai Land Department (DLD), is 4% of the property's total price. Typically, this fee is legally split 50/50 between the buyer and seller, but in most cases, it ends up being paid entirely by the buyer. Additionally, buyers must cover registration fees, which vary based on the property's value, and administrative fees specific to the property type.
