How the RAK fee works
The RAK Municipality registration fee is made of two parts: a fixed AED 25 and a variable 5% of the annual rent. So a higher rent means a higher fee. For example, on an annual rent of AED 50,000 the fee is AED 25 plus AED 2,500, which is AED 2,525.
Paying in instalments
The 5% portion is often not paid all at once. It is commonly collected in instalments through the monthly utility bill once the electricity service is connected, which spreads the cost over the year.
Why registration matters
Registration through the RAK Municipality e-portal is mandatory. An unregistered contract is difficult to enforce, which can affect eviction rights and security deposit recovery, so it protects both landlord and tenant.
