First, make sure you're using the email address associated with your Ajman Properties agency or agent account. If you've forgotten your password, use “Forgot password?” on the Sign In page. If you still cannot access your account, contact the Ajman Properties support team for assistance. Agents can also check with their agency administrator to confirm that their agent account is still active.
You can't change some registered agency account information directly without Ajman Properties admin approval. If you need to update restricted account details such as the registered email or other protected information, contact the Ajman Properties support team for assistance. This helps protect agency accounts from unauthorised changes.
Agency administrators can manage their agents from Agents → Manage Agents in the Ajman Properties agency dashboard. An agency can activate or deactivate an agent's access, but it cannot permanently delete the agent's account. If an agent needs to be permanently removed, contact the Ajman Properties admin team, as only a Super Admin can permanently delete an account.
Go to Agents → Manage Agents from your agency dashboard to review and manage the agents linked to your account. Check this section first if you need to look up or update an agent's details.
On the Sign In page, use the “Forgot password?” option to reset your password. This works for both agency admin accounts and individual agent accounts.
Once an agency has created an agent's account, the agent signs in directly at Sign In using the login credentials the agency set up for them. Agents shouldn't use the Sign Up page, since the agency creates agent accounts rather than through self-registration.
From your agency dashboard, go to Agents → Add New Agent. There you'll enter the agent's required profile and contact information, set up their login credentials, and upload their photo. Once this is done, the agent can sign in with the credentials you've created for them.
No. AjmanProperties.ae doesn't allow individual agents to register directly. An agency must register first, then create accounts for its agents.
Agencies register through Sign Up and should select “I am a Real Estate Agency” during registration. Once your agency is registered, you can then add and manage individual agent accounts from your agency dashboard.

No. There is currently no way to pay for priority placement, higher rankings or preferential visibility on AjmanProperties.ae.

Agents can list up to 20 properties at a time on AjmanProperties.ae, for sale or rent combined, and listing is free. If you reach the limit, remove any sold, rented or outdated listings from your dashboard to make room for new ones.
The most useful listings are accurate and complete: the correct price, precise location, an honest description of the property's condition, and genuine, current photos. Clearly stating whether the property is available now, along with practical details like size, layout, and any restrictions, helps buyers and tenants decide faster and more confidently. Reviewing and updating your listings regularly, rather than leaving old information in place, keeps them useful to anyone browsing the site.
Avoid creating duplicate listings for the same property. Instead, keep the existing listing updated with the latest price, photos, property details and availability. This gives buyers and tenants clearer information and helps keep AjmanProperties.ae accurate and useful.
We may need to remove a property listing if it contains inaccurate or misleading information, inappropriate or unrelated photos, duplicate content, or other information that affects the listing's quality. Keep your property details accurate and up to date. If you believe there is a problem with one of your listings, contact our support team for assistance.
Sign in to your account and open the listing from your dashboard. From there, you can update the price, description, specifications and photos at any time to keep the listing accurate as things change.
A listing may not appear if required details or photos are missing, or if there's a technical issue with the submission. It isn't because it's waiting for manual approval, since agents and agencies don't need further sign-off from our admin team to publish a listing. Check the listing status from your dashboard, and if something still looks off, contact our support team, and we'll help sort it out.
Yes. Registered real estate agents and agencies can list properties they are marketing on AjmanProperties.ae. Make sure the property information, price, location, photos and availability you provide are accurate and kept up to date. If you're listing through an agency, keep your agency profile and contact details up to date.
Upload clear, recent photos that genuinely show the property being listed, not stock images, photos of a different unit, or outdated pictures. Well-lit shots of each room, the building exterior and any key features give buyers and tenants a realistic view of what they're considering. You can add or update photos anytime from your dashboard.
Before you start, have the core details ready: property type, exact location, size, price, and an accurate description of the property's condition and features. Make sure everything matches the actual property, since accurate details help buyers and tenants trust your listing and reduce wasted enquiries. Once you have this ready, you can add a property from your account.
Sign in to your account and use the Add Property option to submit your listing details, photos and price.

To make a property available for lease in Ajman, the owner (or an authorised representative) must first register it in the Tasdeeq system. This property registration in Ajman is free, is normally approved within one business day, and covers individuals, businesses and government entities.
Tasdeeq is the Ajman Municipality and Planning Department's system for regulating rental contracts. Tasdeeq property registration is a specific service within it: it lets a registered user add a property they own or represent to their account, so that property becomes available for lease contract requests in Ajman. It's a setup step, not the lease agreement itself.
The official Tasdeeq service description covers users adding properties “they own or represent.” In practice, this refers to the landlord/property owner or their authorised representative, not the tenant. A tenant does not use this service. Owners can register as an individual, a business, or a government entity, and can manage a registered property remotely from outside the UAE once it's set up.
Individual
Business
Government entity
A Power of Attorney is required only when someone other than the registered owner, such as a licensed real estate office, submits the application.
This service is currently free of charge, with approval typically issued within one business day of submission. Fees and processing times can change, so confirm the current details on the official portal before applying.
These are two separate Tasdeeq services. Property registration simply adds a property to the system so it's available for lease requests; no tenant or signed lease is involved yet. Tenancy contract authentication is the later step that ratifies an actual signed lease between landlord and tenant; it has its own separate documents and fee. A property generally needs to be registered before a lease contract on it can be authenticated.
No. Tasdeeq describes this service as being for the property owner or their authorised representative to add a property they own or represent. Tenants are not the applicant for property registration.
No. It's only needed when someone other than the registered owner, such as a licensed real estate office, is submitting the application on the owner's behalf.
No. Registration only makes the property available in the system for lease requests. Any tenancy agreement still needs to be authenticated separately once it's signed.
Yes, through delegation between the co-owners. Once that's set up, the appropriate registration or representation type can be selected for the property.
Yes. Once a property is registered, owners can manage their Tasdeeq listing remotely through the online portal from anywhere.

Sale registration is the official process that transfers ownership of a property from seller to buyer in Ajman. It's handled by the Ajman Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation (AjmanRE), sometimes still referred to in the property market as ARRA, and it results in a new title deed, ownership certificate, or initial registration certificate in the buyer's name.
Sale registration formally records a property sale between the seller and buyer, or their legal representatives, with AjmanRE. It applies to land, standalone property, and real estate units, and is the step that legally moves ownership and the title deed from the seller to the buyer.
Registering a real estate unit purchased from a developer may also involve a separate “final registration” step with its own fee once the developer has cleared the unit. Confirm with AjmanRE whether this applies to your unit.
|
Fee |
Amount |
|
Buyer's fee UAE/GCC citizens |
2% of property value, AED 2,500 minimum |
|
Buyer's fee non-citizens |
3% of property value, AED 3,000 minimum |
|
Buyer's fee real estate unit |
2% of unit value |
|
Seller's fee (standard sale) |
1% of the property's valuation |
|
Title deed/certificate issuance |
AED 350 |
A property or land transfer involving a non-UAE national buyer may incur an additional freehold ownership fee in Ajman, in addition to the standard sale registration fee listed in the table above. There is no single fixed freehold fee that applies across all Ajman properties; the applicable amount depends on the specific area and on whether the property or land is classified as residential, commercial, or industrial, with these classifications carrying different fees. Buyers shouldn't calculate or assume this fee using a general Ajman-wide rate. Confirm the exact applicable freehold fee for the specific property directly with AjmanRE, particularly when the transfer is being processed.
Special cases carry different fees, including sales by judicial verdict, public auction, government or semi-government housing programmes, common-property-land NOCs, and Power-of-Attorney-based sales (currently borne by the seller, varying by relationship to the buyer). Confirm the exact figure for these on AjmanRE's official fee calculator before proceeding.
AjmanRE lists the online application step at around 5 minutes. That covers submitting the request itself; the overall transaction still depends on the documents being ready and both parties attending in person to sign the contract before the title deed is issued.
Applications are submitted through AjmanRE's e-services portal, with the Customer Happiness Centre handling review, approval, and in-person contract signing.
Both parties pay separately. The buyer pays the main registration fee 2% (citizens/GCC) or 3% (non-citizens) of the property value while the seller pays 1% of the property's valuation.
Yes, but only for real estate units. A clearance certificate or no-objection certificate from the developer is required before AjmanRE will register the sale of a unit.
Yes. Either party can be represented by a legal representative or a Power of Attorney holder. POA-based sales carry a separate fee, currently borne by the seller, that varies based on the buyer's relationship to the seller.
Only partly. The application and documents are submitted online through AjmanRE's e-services portal, but both parties must still attend in person to sign the sale contract before the title deed is issued.
Yes. Non-citizens pay a higher percentage and a higher minimum fee than UAE/GCC citizens for a standard sale. A non-UAE national buyer may also have an additional freehold fee, depending on the specific area and whether the property or land is residential, commercial, or industrial. Confirm the exact applicable fee with AjmanRE for the specific property when the transfer is processed.

To get electricity and water in Ajman, you apply online through EtihadWE, the utility that replaced FEWA, by submitting a “Service Activation” request. Most people moving into a ready home log in with UAE Pass, submit their documents, and have utilities connected within about a day.
Since 2020, the Federal Electricity and Water Authority (FEWA) has operated as Etihad Water and Electricity (EtihadWE), serving Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. The old FEWA name still works fine in search and everyday conversation; it's the same organisation.
To set up a new FEWA connection in Ajman for a property with a previously closed account:
Document requirements differ across EtihadWE's account services, so it helps to know which one applies to you before you apply.
Service Activation (activating a property with a closed account):
EtihadWE may request other documents depending on the case. Owners activating an account should confirm the exact proof of ownership required with EtihadWE, as this isn't itemised on the current Service Activation page.
Owner Change (transferring an existing account to a new owner):
New Service Connection (a property never connected to EtihadWE):
Submitted by an EtihadWE-approved consultant, typically during construction, and requires technical documents such as a building permit, completion certificate, and EtihadWE-approved electrical and water drawings.
A refundable security deposit applies to new accounts, but EtihadWE does not publish one fixed figure; the amount depends on your customer and property category and is confirmed when you apply. Treat older deposit figures you may see elsewhere as unconfirmed.
Applying online or via the app is free; an AED 50 fee applies only if you apply in person at a service centre.
Service Activation requests are typically processed within one working day. Once approved and after any deposit is paid, EtihadWE connects electricity and water to the property within 24 hours.
You can view and pay bills through the EtihadWE website or Smart App, at EtihadWE kiosks, through participating banks, at exchange centres such as Al Ansari Exchange and Al Fardan Exchange, or in person at an EtihadWE customer happiness centre.
Service Activation is for a property that has already been connected before you're opening a new account on an existing supply, and it's what almost every buyer or tenant moving into a ready Ajman property will use.
A New Service Connection is different: it's for a property that has never had electricity or water connected at all. This is a technical process, usually handled by the developer or their consultant during construction, involving building permits, completion certificates and engineering drawings, with fees set by meter size rather than a flat rate. If you're buying off-plan or newly built, ask your developer whether this step has already been completed.
Yes. EtihadWE replaced FEWA under Federal Law No. 31 of 2020. It's the same organisation serving Ajman and the other Northern Emirates; “FEWA” is simply the older name people still search for.
Either can apply. Tenants use their Emirates ID and a municipality-approved tenancy contract. Owners use their Emirates ID along with ownership documents such as a land grant certificate and a municipality letter.
EtihadWE doesn't publish a fixed deposit amount; it depends on the property and customer category and is confirmed during your application. Please ask EtihadWE directly for your specific case.
You'll need a New Service Connection, not Service Activation. This is normally arranged by the developer or their consultant during construction, so check with your developer whether it's already been completed.

If you're moving into a rental property in Ajman, you register for sewerage services through Ajman Sewerage's Move-In service before or as soon as you move in. Registration itself is free and activates your account and monthly billing; it's separate from the ongoing service charge you'll pay each month.
Move-In registration is the process by which a new tenant opens a sewerage account for the property they're renting. It activates the sewerage service, links the account to the tenant rather than the landlord, and sets up monthly billing by email and SMS.
This service is for tenants, not property owners. Anyone moving into a rented residential or commercial property in Ajman should register before moving in, or as soon as they take occupancy. If a tenant doesn't register, billing for the property continues on the owner's account instead.
An application won't proceed if the tenant's Emirates ID or trade licence has expired and there's no proof of a renewal application.
Move-In registration is free of charge, and applications are typically processed within one working day. This free registration only covers opening the account it doesn't mean sewerage service itself is free; a separate monthly service charge applies once your account is active.
Monthly charges depend on your property type and size; apartments and villas are billed differently and are set by Ajman Sewerage rather than a single flat rate. Check the current tariff on Ajman Sewerage's official website before budgeting for your monthly bill.
Bills can be paid online through the Ajman Sewerage website or Smart App, or through participating banks. Ajman Sewerage's Customer Happiness Centres also accept in-person payments. Have your account or Sewerage ID number ready for any payment channel.
Yes. Ajman Sewerage's Move-In service is designed to be completed before or right at move-in, so the property's account is activated and billed to you as the tenant from the start.
The property continues to be billed under the owner's account. This makes the owner responsible for charges the tenant is actually generating, so registering promptly matters for both parties.
Yes, the Move-In registration itself is free of charge. However, this only covers opening the account; the monthly sewerage service charge is separate and still applies once the account is active.
Yes. Registration is done through the Ajman Sewerage website or Smart App, without needing to visit a service centre in person.
Yes. Commercial tenants submit a valid trade licence in place of an Emirates ID, along with the same pre-tenancy documents and tenancy contract required of residential tenants.

Property investors can qualify for UAE Golden Residency by owning real estate worth at least AED 2 million, without needing a work sponsor. For real estate specifically, this currently means a 5-year renewable residency issued by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP), not the 10-year term used for some other Golden Residency categories.
UAE Golden Residency is ICP's long-term residency programme, granting eligible individuals residency for five or ten years, renewable automatically, without a sponsor. It covers several categories: investors, entrepreneurs, outstanding students, specialised talent, and humanitarian pioneers, each with its own duration and requirements.
ICP groups real estate investors under “Investors in Public Investments or Real Estate,” but the duration differs by type: public investment qualifies for 10 years, real estate investment for 5 years. The minimum qualifying investment for real estate is AED 2 million.
ICP's public guidance doesn't separately address off-plan property. Confirm with ICP and the relevant land department whether an off-plan unit satisfies the ownership requirement at your application stage.
Golden Residency eligibility is a federal ICP matter, not specific to any one emirate; Ajman can support an application if it meets the same AED 2 million ownership requirement as property elsewhere in the UAE. Owning an AED 2 million Ajman property doesn't automatically guarantee approval; the relevant Ajman land authority must still confirm ownership and value as part of ICP's documentation, and you must meet all other eligibility conditions.
Looking for property in Ajman? Ajman Properties can help you explore current properties based on your budget and investment requirements. Confirm Golden Residency eligibility separately with the relevant UAE authorities.
You need real estate worth at least AED 2 million, confirmed by a letter from the Land Registration Department. This can be one property or the combined value of multiple properties.
Currently 5 years. ICP's Golden Residency guide lists real estate investment at 5 years, distinct from the 10-year term given to public investment of the same AED 2 million.
Yes. ICP's documentation requirement covers “one or more properties valued at AED 2 million or more,” so combined ownership across multiple properties can qualify.
Potentially. Golden Residency eligibility is federal, so a qualifying Ajman property is treated the same as one anywhere else in the UAE, provided ownership, value, and all other ICP conditions are confirmed.
ICP's current documentation requires ownership “without loans,” which suggests mortgaged property may not qualify. ICP doesn't address off-plan property separately in its public guidance, so confirm both scenarios directly with ICP and the relevant land department.

Setting up a company in Ajman means choosing between two jurisdictions: Ajman Mainland, licensed by the Ajman Department of Economic Development (Ajman DED), or Ajman Free Zone, regulated by the Ajman Free Zone Authority (AFZA). The right choice depends on whether your business needs to trade directly with the UAE market or operates mainly internationally.
Ajman Mainland companies, licensed by Ajman DED, can trade directly with customers anywhere in the UAE without restriction. Ajman Free Zone companies, licensed by AFZA, operate within the free zone and suit international trade or activities that don't need direct mainland market access. Both routes generally allow 100% foreign ownership, depending on activity and legal structure.
Ajman DED licenses and regulates mainland businesses. Common legal structures include a Limited Liability Company (LLC), a sole establishment, or a branch of an existing company. Ajman DED issues commercial, professional, and industrial licences, and some regulated activities require extra approval from other UAE authorities before the licence is issued.
AFZA offers a Free Zone Establishment (FZE, single shareholder), a Free Zone Company (FZCO, multiple shareholders), or a branch structure. Free zone companies are licensed for trading, industrial, service, or e-commerce activities under AFZA's own rules, separate from Ajman DED. A free zone licence doesn't itself grant unrestricted access to mainland customers, which generally needs separate arrangements.
Exact requirements vary by business activity, legal structure, and shareholder type. Commonly requested documents include:
UAE Corporate Tax applies to Ajman companies, Mainland and Free Zone alike the standard rate is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, with 0% below it. A Free Zone company may qualify as a Qualifying Free Zone Person and pay 0% on its Qualifying Income, but only if it meets all Federal Tax Authority conditions, including maintaining adequate substance in the zone. Not every Ajman Free Zone company automatically qualifies. VAT (5%) registration is mandatory above AED 375,000 in taxable turnover. This is general information, not tax advice; confirm your position with the Federal Tax Authority.
Forming a company in Ajman doesn't by itself guarantee a UAE residence visa. Visa eligibility, quotas, and validity depend on your licence, activity, and current immigration rules confirm these with ICP or the relevant free zone authority. Opening a corporate bank account is a separate process; each bank sets its own documentation requirements, and approval isn't guaranteed.
Most Ajman Mainland licences require a registered office with a valid tenancy contract, and some activities need specific premises a shop, warehouse, or industrial unit. Free zone companies typically lease space within the free zone itself.
If your business requires an office, shop, warehouse, commercial building, industrial property or land in Ajman, Ajman Properties can help you explore current property options. Confirm company formation, licensing, tax, and immigration requirements with the relevant authorities.
In most cases, yes. UAE law allows 100% foreign ownership for most Mainland activities, and Free Zone companies are generally fully foreign-owned by structure. Certain strategic or regulated activities may still carry specific ownership conditions confirm yours with Ajman DED or AFZA.
A Mainland company, licensed by Ajman DED, can trade directly across the UAE without restriction. A Free Zone company, licensed by AFZA, operates within the free zone and generally suits international trade rather than direct access to the mainland market.
Yes, UAE Corporate Tax applies to free zone companies too. A free zone company can potentially pay 0% on Qualifying Income if it meets all Federal Tax Authority conditions; otherwise, the standard 9% rate applies above AED 375,000.
Most licences require a registered address with a tenancy contract, though the premises type office, shop, warehouse, or industrial unit depends on your activity and jurisdiction. Confirm the exact requirement with Ajman DED or AFZA.
No. A trade licence is separate from residence visa eligibility. Visa quotas, validity, and approval depend on your licence, activity, and current immigration rules. Confirm these with ICP or the relevant free zone authority.
