How the Online Application Works
Dubai Municipality, DDA, and Trakhees CED each operate their own online portal for building permit applications. You'll need a registered account, your structural drawings and calculations in the correct digital format, and supporting documents uploaded before submission. The authority's technical team reviews the application online and communicates any clarifications through the same portal.
