DAMAC Hills 1 & 2 Villa Approval & Extension Experts

What?

What approvals are mandatory in DAMAC Hills?

All structural changes, villa extensions, and outdoor modifications (pools/pergolas) require a DAMAC Developer NOC. Once secured, DH1 owners apply to the DDA, while DH2 owners submit to Dubai Municipality (DM).

Why?

Why are developer NOCs so strict?

DAMAC enforces 'Community Aesthetic Guidelines' to maintain property values. Unapproved works can lead to the forfeiture of your 5,000–10,000 AED security deposit and legal notices from the DAMAC community management (COA).

Who?

Who manages the digital submission?

Our team handles the DAMAC Living App submissions on behalf of the owner, preparing all technical architectural sets and structural stability reports required for both the developer and the government authorities.

Where?

Where do these regulations apply?

In DH1, this covers clusters like Topanga, Silver Springs, and The Trump Estates. In DH2, it covers Natura, Verona, Camelia, and Pacifica, including all newly handed-over 2026 phases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extend my villa in DAMAC Hills 2?
Yes, but DH2 has stricter plot coverage limits. You must ensure the extension does not exceed the allowed GFA for your specific cluster (e.g., Natura or Verona).
Does DAMAC require a security deposit for painting?
For external painting or minor cosmetic changes, a small refundable deposit is usually required to ensure no damage to community pavements or neighboring villas.
How do I get back my security deposit after construction?
Once work is complete, we apply for a Building Completion Certificate (BCC). After a joint inspection by the developer, the deposit is released via the DAMAC Living App.
