Conditions, time and validity
- Issued under Dubai Municipality's terms, within 24 hours.
- The plot must be registered and within the Municipality's jurisdiction.
- Processing time
- Within 24 hours (Dubai Municipality terms).
- Validity of the result
- The map shows the registered data on the day of issue; a new map is needed after any change. Some authorities (for example for a valuation) accept a municipality map only if issued within one year.
- Where it is applied for
- Dubai REST app, DLD website, Real Estate Services Trustee centres (and the Oqood developers' portal for developers).
Steps at the authority
- Client sends the title deed / property number and ID.
- Centre submits the map request and pays the fee.
- DLD reviews and generates the map.
- The electronic map is emailed.
Tips that save you a trip
- For a valuation the municipality map must be less than one year old, so order a fresh one if yours is older.
Common reasons for rejection or delay
- Municipality data for the plot is incomplete, which delays the shared map.
Questions and answers
Why is it more expensive than a normal land map?
