Fujairah issues two new Property laws
Stakeholders will be given six months to align with legal requirements of property ownership rulings
The emirate of Fujairah has announced two new laws governing property ownership; Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Fujairah, issued Law No.3 for 2023 and Law No.4 for 2023, regulating real estate development guarantee accounts.
The two laws stipulate that developers, management companies, associations and owners’ unions are to align their situations with the provisions of the laws within six months from the dates of their issuance (with the possibility for the relevant authority’s director to extend the deadline for the same period when required).
The provisions of the two laws do not affect contracts between developers and owners signed before their enforcement, as well as fundamental association systems approved and deposited by a relevant authority, except for the formation of owners’ associations.
