Dubai Land Department has approved the first-ever three-year fixed service fee structure for the Palm Jumeirah master community, in collaboration with Dubai Holding Community Management.

Palm Jumeirah becomes the first project in Dubai to adopt a multi-year service fee model under the official Mollak system.

What Has Changed

Community management companies can now:

• submit and secure approval for three-year service fee budgets
• continue using the traditional one-year model if preferred

The new mechanism allows long-term contracts with service providers and improves financial planning.

Why It Matters for Owners and Investors

The three-year service fee model provides:

• clearer visibility of ownership costs
• reduced volatility in annual service charges
• stronger transparency in community management

This improves investment predictability, especially for income-focused buyers.

Impact on the Market

According to DLD, the initiative:

• supports long-term financial and operational planning
• strengthens regulatory oversight
• enhances market stability and transparency

Updates to the Mollak system also streamline digital data integration and documentation, reducing administrative time and improving service quality.

Regulatory Perspective

Eng. Abdullah Ahmed Al Shehhi, CEO of RERA at Dubai Land Department, confirmed that the mechanism is now available to all community management companies across Dubai, supporting service fee stability and more efficient community management.

Bottom Line

The introduction of fixed three-year service fees at Palm Jumeirah marks a shift toward more predictable, investor-friendly cost structures and reflects Dubai’s broader move toward a mature and transparent real estate market.
