A No Objection Certificate (NOC) is issued by the developer confirming the seller has no outstanding service charges before a resale can transfer. The developer sets the price, typically AED 500-5,000 plus VAT depending on the community. By convention it is often the seller's cost, but who pays should be agreed in the sale contract.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
