In Dubai, developers must register with the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), part of the Dubai Land Department (DLD), before launching any real estate project. This process ensures compliance with legal and financial regulations, safeguarding investors and buyers. Registration involves submitting documents such as trade licenses, escrow account details, and project plans. Once registered, developers are authorized to market and sell properties while adhering to RERA’s guidelines, ensuring transparency and legal accountability throughout the development process.
