Jebel Ali includes areas under Dubai Municipality, DDA and JAFZA, so confirm the plot first. For a project in JAFZA, the developer approval comes from JAFZA first, followed by the Trakhees submission.
Confirm the plot and current Trakhees route
Jebel Ali includes areas under Dubai Municipality, DDA and JAFZA. Confirm the plot’s authority before choosing an application. Trakhees has separate building-permit and modification-permit procedures. In Gravity’s experience, the former General NOC submission covered work beyond a normal modification, but that route was discontinued around the end of 2025.
Gather the site and proposed layout
Collect the lease or plot information, existing approved plans and proposed layout. Use these to confirm the developer and building-authority applications for the work.
Map technical and property approvals
Confirm the plot
Check whether the site is under DM, DDA or JAFZA before selecting a service.
Obtain JAFZA approval
For a JAFZA project, submit to JAFZA as the developer first.
Submit to Trakhees
Follow the JAFZA approval with the relevant Trakhees building or modification submission.
Plan completion
Identify the inspections and closing records for the facility.
Coordinate the client’s Dubai Trade submission
In Gravity’s recent JAFZA projects, the submission process has moved to Dubai Trade and applications must go through the client’s portal. Coordinate with the client’s representative to submit the JAFZA application and obtain the developer approval before the Trakhees submission.
