What is a Trakheesi Permit?
If you wish to publish an advertisement for a Property (Rent or Sale) in Dubai, it is mandatory to obtain a permit from the Dubai Land Department confirming that you are allowed to advertise this property on behalf of the owner(s).
The Permit consists of 10 to 11 digits that you need to include in your listing.
The Permit is therefore required for your listing to go online on PropertyFinder and on any online marketing platform.
If the permit is not valid or expired, the listing will automatically be unpublished from the portal until you update the permit number.
