What Majid Al Futtaim and DDA Look At Here

  • Inside only: finishes and fittings inside, with no change to walls or structure, usually need no NOC
  • Majid Al Futtaim NOC first: apply through the Majid Al Futtaim app before any permit or works
  • Keep the look: outside changes must match the community style, materials and roof design

What to Send Us

  • Title deed and owner ID
  • Photos of the villa and the area to change
  • Villa plans from your handover documents (or we survey the villa)
