payable for the maintenance of a property. Specifically, in Dubai, this charge is commonly referred to as the Dubai service charge and is collected by the Dubai Land Department. Typically, service charges for a property are to be paid by the property owner or an authorised property management company on behalf of the owner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Property service charges in Dubai differ from other charges, such as property transfer and registration. Further, they do not include water and electricity charges collected by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/dubai-electricity-and-water-authority-govart\">Dubai Electricity &amp; Water Authority (DEWA)<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dubai service charges on properties also depend on multiple factors.

Presently, charges on properties in <strong>Dubai range from AED 3 to AED 30 per sq. ft.<\/strong> per year.

This fund is used specifically for major renovations during emergencies or unforeseen circumstances. For instance, damages caused to a building due to a sudden fire outbreak will be repaired via the sinking fund. Replacements for the ducts, grills, doors, windows, and other parts of the building will be funded by this reserve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different owners nurture a sinking fund differently. Some might collect it regularly along with Dubai service charges, while others might collect sizeable portions every few years. Although the owners insure buildings, sinking funds reduce reliability on uncertain insurance returns. Furthermore, they help promptly carry out maintenance work. Contributions to the sinking fund can range from AED 500 ($136) to AED 20,000 ($5,446).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_on_Non-Payment_of_Dubai_Service_Charges\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Happens on Non-Payment of Dubai Service Charges?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-payment of property service charges in Dubai can invite financial claims and legal actions from the government. According to Article 32 of Law No. 6, the management of a building will first send a formal notice to an owner for failing to pay the maintenance charges on time. Subsequently, the written notice, approved by RERA, gives the owner a 30-day window to settle the payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, non-compliance with the order can lead to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The filing of a lawsuit by the management company against the property owner.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collection of due charges from the owner\u2019s bank account via legal orders.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The auctioning of the property as per legal orders to receive the costs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Paying_Maintenance_Charges_in_Dubai\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Paying Maintenance Charges in Dubai<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timely payment of maintenance charges provides numerous benefits. It also ensures better resale value for a property and offers due legal compliance. Some of the key advantages of paying property service charges in Dubai are listed below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Legal Compliance<\/strong>: Paying service charges is a legal requirement under Law No. 6 of 2019 concerning Ownership of Jointly Owned Property in Dubai.
