What is 登记费?
在房产所有权转移时向土地登记机关缴纳的政府规费，在迪拜为成交价格的4%（由买卖双方协商承担，惯例上通常由买方支付），是购房成本中最重要的单项政府税费。
Description
Registration fees are mandatory government charges for officially recording a property transaction. In Dubai, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) charges these fees for all ownership transfers, mortgage registrations, and certain other transactions. They are the single largest transaction cost in Dubai real estate.
Property transfer: 4% of sale price + AED 580 admin fee
Mortgage registration: 0.25% of loan amount + AED 290 admin fee
Oqood (off-plan registration): 4% of property value + AED 1,000
For a AED 2 million property purchase with a AED 1.5 million mortgage, total DLD fees come to approximately AED 84,330 (AED 80,580 transfer + AED 3,750 mortgage registration). The 4% transfer fee is typically split 50/50 between buyer and seller in the secondary market, though some developers cover the buyer's share as a promotional incentive.

How to interpret
Registration fees are a fixed, non-negotiable transaction cost that directly affects your break-even timeline. A 4% DLD fee on a AED 2 million property represents AED 80,000 that must be recovered through capital appreciation or rental income before you are in profit. Factor this cost into eparticularly acquisition model, and do not treat it as an afterthought.
In the secondary market, confirm in writing how the 4% fee is allocated between buyer and seller before exchanging any documents. Misunderstandings over who pays which portion of the DLD fee are a common source of last-minute transaction disputes.
迪拜市场背景
Dubai's 4% DLD fee is competitive globally, comparable to stamp duty in Singapore (up to 4%) and lower than Hong Kong's (up to 15% for non-residents). Some developers offer fee waivers or rebates during soft markets to stimulate sales. Always factor registration fees into your total acquisition cost calculation.
