What is Required for an Emaar Townhouse Extension NOC?

An Emaar townhouse extension is a two-stage approval: an Emaar Home Modification NOC reviewed by Emaar DRC against community design guidelines, followed by a DDA or DM Building Permit. For townhouses, Emaar charges a flat AED 1,000 per sqft of new BUA — the same as the lowest villa tier. This means townhouse owners are not subject to the 3x or 6x fee multiplier that applies to villa extensions above 10% of original BUA. AED 500 non-refundable review fee also applies.

Emaar Townhouse Extension NOC — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Emaar GFA fee for townhouse extensions in 2026?

A flat AED 1,000 per sqft of new enclosed BUA, plus AED 500 non-refundable review fee. Unlike villas, townhouses are not subject to the tiered fee structure — the rate stays at AED 1,000/sqft regardless of how large the extension is as a percentage of original BUA.

Does the Springs 10% GFA cap apply to townhouses?

Yes. The Springs 10% GFA cap applies to both villas and townhouses. A Springs townhouse with 180 sqm original BUA can only extend by 18 sqm under the standard cap. The flat AED 1,000/sqft townhouse rate applies to the permitted extension.

What is the difference between a villa and townhouse for Emaar GFA fees?

Villas use a tiered GFA fee: AED 1,000/sqft (0–10%), AED 3,000/sqft (10–20%), AED 6,000/sqft (20%+). Townhouses use a flat AED 1,000/sqft regardless of extension size. If your property is classified as a townhouse by Emaar, you avoid the higher villa tiers. Structural Solutions confirms your property classification before design begins.

Does my Reem/Mira property use DDA or DM permits?

Dubai Municipality (DM). Reem and Mira are Emaar communities under DM jurisdiction, unlike Dubai Hills Estate and Arabian Ranches which use DDA. Always confirm your community's permit authority before commissioning drawings.
