Dubai Land Department

Dubai Land Department (DLD) was established in 1960 by an order from HH Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the late ruler of Dubai, in order to safeguard the property rights of Dubai. Falling under the umbrella of the Dubai Executive Council, DLD continued to strive to provide a comprehensive range of real estate services, most notably responsibility of overlooking sales transactions, regulations and registration of all transactions.
