Abu Dhabi · land & permit documents

Land & permit deadline tracker

The site plan is re-issued, not renewed. The building permit renews once. The masterplan extension has to be filed before expiry. This tracks all three against the dates on your own certificates.

🧪 Example figures

Illustrative only — not typical values, not a recommendation. Replace with your own.

A plot whose masterplan filing window is nearly shut and whose building permit has already used its single renewal.

Project & route Trade licence Documents held Deadlines

1. Project & route

Who follows the file up decides the channel, so this comes first.

Which authority follows this plot up?

2. Trade licence

The quiet blocker: an expired company licence stops the service before the land is even looked at.

Is the company trade licence valid?

3. Documents held

Copy the dates off each certificate. Nothing here is assumed.

ℹ️

No validity period is published for the site plan. The department publishes validity periods where they exist — six months on the building permit, thirty-six months on the masterplan approval. It publishes none for the site plan. So the countdown here runs from the expiry date printed on your own certificate, and nowhere does this tool assume one.

4. Deadlines

Computed only from what you entered above.

Site PlanRequest a fresh issue
Expiry on the certificate: 02/05/202690 days agoService takes: 1 Working Day

There is no renewal — this is a re-issue. There is no "Site Plan Renewal" service in the department catalogue. You renew by requesting a fresh issue, and the new certificate carries new dates.

Building Permit — RenewalComing up
Expiry on the certificate: 08/09/2026in 39 daysService takes: 2 Working Day

One renewal only — already used. The renewal service is one time only. A second renewal is not available through it; the route from here is a fresh application, so allow for it in the programme.

The three services, side by side

Open a card for the official wording — quoted, never paraphrased.

How this was checked: Everything here is quoted verbatim from the TAMM service cards as rendered in a JavaScript-executing browser on 31 July 2026, with the collapsed "Show More" and Terms of Service panels expanded — their contents are invisible otherwise.

Source: TAMM service cards of the Department of Municipalities and Transport. Their Terms of Service state that the business rules stipulated in relevant manuals and regulations apply — so a card is not the complete requirement set.

ℹ️

The service cards state that the business rules in the relevant manuals and regulations apply, so a card is not the complete requirement set. Confirm the current position with the authority before you rely on any date here.

Save to a facility

Keeps this as a dated record on the project, so a later revision does not overwrite what you issued.
