What Emaar and Dubai Municipality Look At Here

  • Community rules: Emaar checks floor area, distance from boundaries, height and the look of the villa against its rules for your plot
  • Dubai Municipality permit: structural works need a Dubai Municipality building permit after the Emaar NOC
  • Neighbours: works must respect neighbouring plots, shared walls and the site rules Emaar sets for contractors

What to Send Us

  • Title deed and owner ID
  • Photos of the villa and the area to change
  • Villa plans (Emaar can provide these)
  • Your idea: a sketch is enough to start
