Sharjah's new fee schedule comes after the emirate's Executive Council issued the decision to amend Council Decision No. (5) for the year 2013 concerning municipal fees and violations in the emirate.

This comes after Dubai last year announced an update to sewage system fee for the first time in 10 years.

Dubai's tariffs will be implemented in stages over three years, the emirate's municipality announced in 2024.

While a tariff of 1.5 per gallon started in 2025, it will rise to 2 fils in 2026, and 2.8 fils in 2027.
