Abu Dhabi launches Building Occupancy Certificates
The Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport has launched a new system for issuing and renewing building occupancy certificates, aiming to enhance building safety, sustainability, and improve safety quality for residents. Building owners and property management companies are required to submit applications before September 16, with a grace period until that date. The certificate is valid for up to five years, depending on the type of building. The requirements include assessments of structural safety, civil defense standards, gas connections, HVAC system efficiency, and other criteria. A fine of up to one million AED may be imposed for occupancy without a valid, up-to-date certificate. The initiative seeks to improve building management, support sustainable urban development, and ensure a safe and well-organized urban environment.
