Because Trakhees issues the building permit, many owners and contractors assume Trakhees also covers the environmental side. It does not. Treating the DM environmental NOC as a separate track from the start avoids a late surprise when the pool is nearly finished.
Trakhees Environmental NOC for Swimming Pools
If your villa is in a Trakhees area such as Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Islands or Jumeirah Park, the pool environmental NOC still comes from Dubai Municipality’s Environment Department — not from Trakhees. Trakhees handles the building permit; DM Environment Department approves the pool’s backwash and drainage.

How the Two Authorities Split the Work
For a pool in a Trakhees area, the structural and building permit drawings go through Trakhees, while the environmental NOC application goes to DM Environment Department. The environmental NOC drawings show the backwash route: filter to a pressure-breaking manhole, through a gully trap and into the villa’s existing manhole.

Trakhees Environmental NOC for Swimming Pools — FAQs
Does Trakhees issue the environmental NOC for pools?
No. Even in Trakhees areas, the pool environmental NOC is issued by Dubai Municipality’s Environment Department.
What does Trakhees approve for my pool?
Trakhees handles the building permit and structural submission for villas in its jurisdiction.
Do I need both approvals?
Yes. A pool in a Trakhees area needs the Trakhees permit and the DM environmental NOC, plus the developer NOC where applicable.
Where does the backwash go?
From the filter to a pressure-breaking manhole, through a gully trap and into the villa’s existing manhole.
Can you handle both submissions?
Yes. We prepare the Trakhees permit drawings and the DM environmental NOC drawings together.
