Which documents are required to either separate or merge land plots in Dubai?

To either separate or merge land plots in Dubai, several key documents and steps are required, as overseen by the Dubai Land Department (DLD).

Required Documents:

  1. Title Deeds:

    • For separation: The title deed of the land plot that you intend to separate.

    • For merging: Title deeds for all the land plots that you wish to merge.

  2. Real Estate Maps:

    • Maps of the land plots involved, approved by the relevant planning authority. These maps should clearly outline the proposed boundaries post-separation or merger.

  3. Letter from the Planning Authority:

    • A letter issued by the planning authority (e.g., Dubai Municipality) is required to approve the separation or merger. This is crucial for ensuring that the proposed changes comply with local zoning laws and regulations.

  4. Developer’s Approval (if applicable):

    • If the land plots are within a freehold area or a long-term lease project, the developer must submit the application on behalf of the owner through the developer portal. This ensures that all changes align with the master development plan.

  5. Identification Documents:

    • A copy of the Emirates ID for the owner(s) involved in the transaction.

Process:

  1. Application Submission:

    • You can submit the application through the Dubai REST app, the DLD website, or in person at one of the Real Estate Services Registrar Centers.

  2. Review and Approval:

    • The DLD will review the application to ensure all conditions and requirements are met. This includes verifying the documents and ensuring compliance with planning regulations.

  3. Payment of Fees:

    • Fees are associated with both the application process and the issuance of new title deeds or maps. These fees vary depending on the specifics of the land plots and the complexity of the transaction.

  4. Issuance of New Documents:

    • Once approved, new title deeds and maps reflecting the separated or merged plots will be issued electronically.

Fees:

  • Application Fee: AED 500

  • Title Deed Issuance Fee: AED 250 per title deed

  • Map Issuance Fees: AED 100 to AED 225 depending on the area and type of map

These steps and documents are essential for legally modifying land boundaries in Dubai, ensuring that all changes are accurately recorded and comply with local regulations. This process is managed under the oversight of the DLD to maintain the integrity of property transactions in the emirate.

For further details, you can consult the DLD’s official guidelines or seek assistance from a property management company familiar with the process.
