JAFZA approval refers to the official permission required to carry out fit-out or modification works inside a JAFZA-leased property. While many people call it “JAFZA approval,” most technical approvals are reviewed and issued through Trakhees, the regulatory authority for JAFZA.
Depending on the project, approvals may involve:
No site work is allowed until all required authority approvals are issued.
You need JAFZA approval in the following cases:
Even minor works may require approval if they affect fire safety, structure, or MEP systems.
