What is Dubai Municipality Approval?

Dubai Municipality (DM) provides approvals for building permits and licenses, covering both new constructions and redevelopment projects. Whether you’re an individual, business, or government entity, DM approval ensures that your project adheres to the guidelines set by the municipality. This applies to a wide variety of structures, including single and multi-story buildings, industrial facilities, villas, and more. Without the proper DM approval, no physical work on a project can proceed.

Office Approvals

Before setting up an office in Dubai, you’ll need approval from the DM. This involves an inspection of the building where the office will be established and verifying the purpose of the office. We guide you through the document submission and approval process, ensuring that your office is legally compliant and meets all the requirements set by Dubai Municipality.

2. Submit the Application: Once the correct department has been identified, you will submit an application for approval.
3. Pay Fees: An application fee is required at this stage, and the amount will depend on the specific type of approval you are seeking.
4. Submit Supporting Documents: Additional documentation is typically required, such as building plans, trade licenses, or NOCs. The required documents will vary based on your project.
5. DM Review: Once your application is submitted, the DM team will review it. The complexity of your project may affect the time it takes to receive feedback.
6. Receive Approval: If your application is approved, you’ll receive a certificate, which typically needs to be renewed annually.
