Dubai Hills third-party plot: villa demolition permit
A Dubai Hills plot demolition permit on a third-party plot needs the Emaar NOC first, then the DDA demolition permit, with both demolition options available.
The short answer
On third-party plots in Dubai Hills, the owner builds their own villa under the community guidelines. To rebuild, you can demolish first with a demolition permit and close it with a completion, or get the preliminary design approval and demolish at the mobilization permit stage. We handle the Emaar NOC and DDA.
