Buying in Dubai? Every genuine property advert carries a permit number

Dubai requires a Land Department advertising permit on every property advert, which buyers can use to check a listing is authorised.

Key facts

• Every Dubai property advert, online, print or social, must carry a valid Trakheesi permit number issued by the Dubai Land Department.
• Off-plan developer sales use primary permits, which need a developer no-objection certificate.
• Advertising without a permit is a RERA violation, with fines reported to start around AED 50,000.
• Abu Dhabi uses a separate permit system called Madhmoun.
