Housing charges on the DEWA bill are a Dubai Municipality fee applied to leased and owned residential properties for non-UAE nationals. The cost is calculated to fund municipal services such as public cleaning, infrastructure maintenance, and environmental health. It appears as a separate line item — housing fee on DEWA bill — and is collected through the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority on behalf of Dubai Municipality.
For tenants, the Dubai Municipality housing fee is calculated at 5% of the annual rental value stated in the registered tenancy contract. For owners, it is calculated at 5% of the estimated rental value determined by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency’s rental index. The Dubai Municipality housing fee amount is then divided into monthly instalments and added to the DEWA bill.
A DEWA housing fee adjustment can be requested if the property details or rental value used for calculation are incorrect, if there has been a change in tenancy or ownership, or if the property is vacant and qualifies for an exemption. Adjustments are also applicable when the RERA rental value index is updated. Dar Alnukhba Customer Care Center handles the adjustment from start to finish, saving clients time and ensuring correct fee calculation.
Both tenants and property owners can apply for a Dubai municipality fee adjustment through DEWA if their housing charges on the DEWA bill are based on outdated or inaccurate information.

The RERA Rental Value Index, issued by the Dubai Land Department, provides an official benchmark of average rental values based on property type and location.
For property owners without an active tenancy contract, Dubai Municipality may use this index to calculate the applicable housing fee. Changes in the index can result in adjustments to the housing charge reflected on your DEWA bill.
To verify that your housing fee adjustment has been processed, check your updated DEWA bill or log into your DEWA online account. The revised housing charge should reflect the approved changes.
