Fujairah Municipality regulates real-estate brokerage in Fujairah.
Confirmed by PropDirectWhat is the property advertising permit in Fujairah called?
Fujairah Municipality regulates brokerage in Fujairah, but we have not confirmed a per-listing advertising permit regime there. PropDirect has not confirmed this from a primary source, so we do not publish an answer. Check with the regulator before relying on it.
Not yet confirmedHow is a tenancy contract registered in Fujairah?
Through EJAAR. This happens AFTER the contract is signed and is not the same thing as an advertising permit — the two are routinely confused.
Confirmed by PropDirectCan a property owner advertise their own home in Fujairah without a broker?
No. The permit system accepts applications only from registered brokers and companies; the owner approves the broker's request rather than applying themselves.

Indicative
A maximum of 5% of the existing annual rent, and only every two years once the first three years of the tenancy have passed.
INDICATIVE. We have this from a single secondary source rather than from Fujairah's own published legislation, so treat it as what to ask about rather than as settled. Checked 2026-09-07.
Law 1 of 2011 · Notice to raise · 2 months before the contract ends, in writing · Disputes · the committee for the resolution of lease disputes
Homes on the board — Every listing we hold, with its permit and its paperwork shown
The other six emirates — Same questions, answered separately for each one
How we check a listing — What is verified before a listing appears, and what is not
These answers come from the same emirate record the rest of PropDirect reads, so what a listing page tells an agent and what this page tells a reader cannot disagree. PropDirect is a software provider, not a brokerage — none of this is legal advice, and Fujairah Municipality is the authority on its own rules.
