DAMAC Summer Rewards: 4% DLD Waiver on Villas and Townhouses
DAMAC covers the full 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee on eligible off-plan villas and townhouses.
The registration fee, taken off the table
On a AED 3 million villa the 4% DLD fee is AED 120,000. Under Summer Rewards DAMAC covers it, so that cash stays with you instead of going to the Land Department at registration.
Summer Rewards is a fee waiver rather than a payment plan. It applies to eligible off-plan residential villas and townhouses in the UAE and excludes future new launches, so it is the current release rather than whatever comes next. Apartments are not included.

What actually changes for a buyer
The fee is real money, not a discount
The 4% DLD registration fee is a cash cost paid at registration, separate from the purchase price. Waiving it changes what leaves your account rather than what the property is worth on paper.
Villas and townhouses only
This is a house offer. Apartments across the DAMAC portfolio are excluded, which narrows it to DAMAC Hills, Hills 2, DAMAC Islands and the other villa and townhouse communities.
Current stock, not the next launch
The waiver excludes future new launches. That makes it worth acting on the release that is open now rather than waiting for the next announcement and expecting the same terms.
It stacks with the plan on the unit
Summer Rewards is a fee waiver, so whatever payment structure DAMAC has attached to your villa still applies underneath it.
A house, with the fee taken off.
Land, not just floor area
Villas and townhouses carry a plot.
A cash saving at registration
4% off the day-one cost of the purchase.
Established masterplans
DAMAC Hills and Hills 2 are delivered and lived in.
Golden Visa route
Units above AED 2 million qualify for the investor visa.
Houses, not apartments.
Your money, staged
The waiver changes what you hand over at registration rather than how the price is staged, so the payment plan on your villa is whatever DAMAC has attached to that release.
The DLD fee that would normally be yours to pay, covered by DAMAC.
It is a waiver, not a discount rolled into the purchase price.
What the waiver is worth on a AED 3,000,000 villa

What this means for you
DAMAC Summer Rewards covers the full 4% Dubai Land Department registration fee on eligible off-plan residential villas and townhouses. It is worth being precise about what that means: the DLD fee is a cash cost paid at registration, separate from the purchase price and normally borne by the buyer. A waiver changes what leaves your account on the day, which is a different thing from a discount that adjusts the headline figure.
The offer is narrower than DAMAC's portfolio. Apartments are not included, so this is a house offer: the villa and townhouse stock at DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Hills 2 and DAMAC Islands, alongside the other eligible residential communities in the UAE. It also excludes future new launches, which means it applies to what is open now rather than to whatever is announced next.
On the arithmetic, four per cent moves real money. A AED 3 million villa carries a AED 120,000 registration fee; at AED 5 million it is AED 200,000. Because it is a fee waiver rather than a payment structure, it sits on top of whatever plan DAMAC has attached to the unit, so the two are not alternatives.
DAMAC has not printed an end date on this half of the campaign, which is worth treating as a reason to move rather than a reason to wait: an offer with no published deadline can be withdrawn without notice. We confirm which specific units carry the waiver, place the booking and handle the developer approval on your behalf.
