If your villa is in a Nakheel-developed community like Palm Jumeirah or JVC, Trakhees CED typically applies. If it's in most other mainland communities, Dubai Municipality applies.
Trakhees vs DM Villa Extension NOC Dubai
Trakhees CED and Dubai Municipality (DM) are separate authorities with distinct drawing formats and processes for villa extension NOCs. Structural Solutions helps villa owners understand the right process and manages the submission from start to finish.

Trakhees vs DM: What's the Difference?
Trakhees CED (Community Engineering & Environmental Department) regulates JAFZA and several Nakheel-developed communities including Palm Jumeirah, JVC, JVT, Al Furjan, and Jumeirah Islands, using its own drawing format and documentation standards. Dubai Municipality (DM) regulates most other mainland Dubai residential communities, with its own separate BPS drawing format and portal.
