Find clear answers to the most common questions about Owners Association management, community operations, service charges, and how Strata Global supports and manages communities.
Effective community management builds the cornerstone of successful properties by maintaining infrastructure, guaranteeing financial stability, and generating great living environments. It preserves property values, assures regulatory compliance, and offers the premium living experience required in Dubai’s sophisticated real estate market.
For mainland buildings, fines for rule violations are determined in accordance with Circular No. 11 of 2023 issued by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA). These fines are categorized into three levels—low, medium, and high—based on the severity of the violation. The management entity must issue fines through the Mollak System and follow RERA’s approved violation guidelines. The fines are considered payable once imposed and are added to the owner’s account, with the collected funds being used as additional income for the jointly owned property. However, for properties located in the DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre), fines are imposed as per the governing documents of the community. These documents outline the specific penalties for different types of violations, ensuring that they align with the rules and regulations set by the DIFC authority.
