Dubai Municipality

Dubai Municipality is a government agency responsible for urban planning, public services, infrastructure projects, and city maintenance, ensuring the city functions smoothly and sustainably for residents and visitors.

Established in 1954 under the leadership of Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the municipality began with just seven employees and grew significantly as Dubai transformed into a modern city.

The municipality promotes environmental awareness through events celebrating migratory birds and biodiversity conservation, fostering civic engagement and ecological responsibility among residents and the community.

The agency operates around the clock, providing services through its mobile app and online portal, including building permits, request tracking, document verification, and fine payments for convenient access.

Dubai Municipality earned Level 3 International Foresight Accreditation for its forward-thinking urban planning and partnerships with technology companies to integrate artificial intelligence into city management systems.
