A MAF NOC and DDA Building Permit are required for any Tilal Al Ghaf villa extension that increases Built-Up Area, modifies the external envelope, adds a pool or covered structure, or involves structural changes. Tilal Al Ghaf has modern contemporary design guidelines with specific requirements for external materials, landscaping integration, and pool setbacks. Most Tilal Al Ghaf villas were recently completed from 2024 onwards so original approved drawings are available, simplifying the NOC submission.

What is Required for a Tilal Al Ghaf Villa Extension NOC?
A Tilal Al Ghaf villa extension is a two-stage approval. First, a Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) Home Modification NOC confirming the extension complies with Tilal Al Ghaf community design guidelines. Second, a DDA Building Permit — not Dubai Municipality — requiring complete structural and architectural drawings in DDA portal format. Tilal Al Ghaf is a MAF community under DDA jurisdiction, making it different from Emaar communities in both the NOC process and the permit authority.

Tilal Al Ghaf Villa Extension NOC at a Glance
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Structural engineer | Checks setbacks and coverage, designs the extension and prepares stamped drawings and calculations. |
| 2 | Majid Al Futtaim (MAF), master developer | Issues the community NOC against its design guidelines. |
| 3 | Building authority — DDA | Building permit; work starts only after it is issued. |
| 4 | Developer and authority | Completion inspection and sign-off. |
Documents Required
- Title deed (or tenancy contract plus landlord NOC for tenants)
- Owner passport and Emirates ID copy
- Affection plan / site plan
- Existing approved drawings — or an as-built survey if you have none
- Proposed drawings and stamped structural calculations — prepared by us
Key Technical Rules
- Setbacks and coverage: the extension must respect the plot setbacks and coverage limits in the community guidelines.
- Counts as GFA: added floor area is reviewed as additional GFA by the developer and the authority.
- Existing structure checked: foundations, columns and slabs are checked for the new loads.
- Matching design: external finishes and rooflines must match the original villa.
- Completion inspection: required before the extension is used, sold or handed over.

Tilal Al Ghaf Villa Extension NOC — Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the developer of Tilal Al Ghaf and who issues the NOC?
Tilal Al Ghaf is developed by Majid Al Futtaim (MAF). The Home Modification NOC is issued by MAF Community Management through the MAF portal. Unlike Emaar communities, Tilal Al Ghaf uses the MAF portal for NOC submission.
Does Tilal Al Ghaf require DDA or Dubai Municipality building permits?
DDA, not Dubai Municipality. Tilal Al Ghaf falls under DDA jurisdiction for building permits. Submitting to Dubai Municipality BPS instead of DDA is the most common and costly mistake on Tilal Al Ghaf projects and results in immediate rejection.
Are original drawings available for Tilal Al Ghaf villas?
Yes. Most Tilal Al Ghaf villas were completed from 2024 onwards and original approved drawings are available from MAF. This makes NOC submissions simpler than older communities where as-built surveys are required before modification design can begin.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your plot or unit details, title deed or affection plan, any existing drawings and a short description of the works — we confirm the approvals needed and prepare the submission.
Can Structural Solutions manage the full Tilal Al Ghaf extension NOC?
Yes. Structural Solutions manages the complete scope — DDA portal drawings, MAF NOC submission, DDA Building Permit, and final clearance. Contact us on WhatsApp or email info@structuralsolutions.ae.
