Did she actually say that if your properties were NOT already registered in OQOOD then you don't have to pay?Today I requested and received a copy of OQOOD registration forms from IMG.
As we bought back in 2007 it became the developers responsibility to do this registration.
I believe that today the investor has to pay a fee to the developer for this registration.
In any case, the reason I speak about this is because of a discussion I had with a lady from the DLD (by phone)
She told me that the whole point of the 4% registration was to get all properties sold registered - i.e. so that the DLD has a record of who actually bought what.
She said to me that if my properties were already registered in OQOOD that I would not have to make this 4% payment now.
While this sounds encouraging I am still cautious, as I know these people who answer phones are not exactly the sharpest tools in the box. However this lady did seem to know her facts.
In any case, I will still go to DLD in person.

Update: The deadline for registration of all units sold in Dubai has been extended to October 31, 2015, from June 30, 2015, according to a circular issued by Dubai Land Department on Thursday.
Looks like we've dodged the bullet for now!
Bad news: the status of Metro Tower on the RERA site has changed from Cancelled to "Conditional Active".i checked and it seems like we have to just check dubai's court site to see if we should register for Metro tower ourselves . ie: the court or galadari is NOT going to let us know when to register and if we miss it then tough , better luck next time :banghead:
Did you check with Rera why Metro Tower's status changed from cancelled to conditional active?Dubai property registration deadline extended to October 31

since less than a year ago the land where city of arabia is built was bought by a government company owned by sheik Maktom so even if any project is cancelled in city of arabia we wont get a penny out of the land liquidation since they can not sell the land and i am sure there is just a few pennies left in the escrow and galadari wants to make sure they will take that out of the escrow account too and thats why they insist on not letting it cancelled and of course they are still selling units to poor unfortunate people like us that dont know what is happening . the other time i was there in galadari's office they were selling some units to a poor family and they got rid of me quickly so i wont say nothing to the poor buyers i suppose .Bad news: the status of Metro Tower on the RERA site has changed from Cancelled to "Conditional Active".

just dont pay a penny more for taxes or ... you will just make them more rich laughting at us and how naive we were/are .
yes i know Dubai government gets the tax. my point is that we all know that they will never build these projects since this is all just a big scam so why should we pay taxes to their government since many years from now after they finally dry up the escrew account and see that they cant scam more people then they will cancel the projects just to wrap up the issue . but then dubai government will never return our money or make us run after them for another 10 years too just to get back the tax after these projects are cancelled or they will simply have another law that will mean we also lose the tax . you know how easy making laws for them is in Dubai .Thanks Morad for this info.
They must be selling the Avenue 353 project. Surely potential buyers would Google "City of Arabia" to see the disastrous track record. Or even take the link from the Avenue 353 web site.
You must be referring to the Master Developer, Dubai Properties. Their web site does not mention City of Arabia, which is hardly surprising.
Finally the taxes go to the Dubai government not to Galadari. According to DubaiEye radio, you must pay even if all you have is a "hole in the ground". Otherwise "heavy penalties" apply. This needs to be confirmed by the Land Department.
i had been to DLD and met Mr. Ahmed Lootah and Mr. AlSyed Mansoor, my conversation with them was very straight forward.Did she actually say that if your properties were NOT already registered in OQOOD then you don't have to pay?
You say that you received the OQOOD registration forms from IMG. Does that mean that your properties have been registered?
