What is Dubai Municipality Approval?
Dubai Municipality Approval is an occupancy permit issued by the Dubai Municipality for construction-related activities. Approvals declare that the architectural designs, structural plans, mechanical, electrical and plumbing layouts, and land use proposals are in compliance with local building codes, zoning laws, sustainable guidelines, and public safety norms.
For the city of Dubai, construction, alterations, or demolition shall not be commenced by law until DM Approvals are in hands. Otherwise, fines, stop-work notices, and rejection of completion certificates will follow.
