What is JAFZA External Structure Permit?
A JAFZA External Structure Permit is required for any external structure added to a plot, such as canopies, shelters, or fencing. Trakhees CED — the Community Engineering & Environmental Department of Dubai's Ports, Customs & Free Zone Corporation — regulates JAFZA and several Nakheel-developed communities, using its own drawing format and documentation standards distinct from DDA and Dubai Municipality.
