Structural works go to DDA for the building permit. Pools also need the DM Environment Department NOC.
What Will Dubai Holding Ask For Before Approving My Renovation?
Dubai Holding wants to know who owns the villa, what is there today and exactly what you want to change: the title deed, owner ID, photos, the villa plans and drawings of the new works, submitted through the Dubai Holding portal.
