What if you could increase your property’s size and value—without buying an extra square meter of land? Most owners have no idea this is possible. But in Abu Dhabi, you can legally merge land plots for free—unlocking more space, higher property value, and fewer ownership hassles.

The catch? One mistake can get your request denied. In this blog, we’ll show you how to do it fast, avoid rejection, and take advantage of this little-known opportunity.

The Advantages That Come with Merging Land Plots

Think you’re stuck with the land layout you bought? Wrong.

The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) actually lets you merge the corridor between your private residential plots—but only if you meet the right conditions. If your property qualifies, here’s what you’re missing out on:

Maximizes land use – A larger plot opens up new possibilities, from creating a grander home layout to enhanced landscaping.

Boosts property value – A bigger plot often means a higher valuation, making your property more attractive to future buyers.

Streamlines ownership management – Combining plots simplifies legal and administrative processes, saving you time and hassle.

How to Merge Your Land Plots (And Get It Approved FAST)

Think this is complicated? It’s actually simple—if you follow the right steps:

·         Log in using UAE PASS – This is your gateway to the application system.

·         Submit Your Application – Attach the required documents (we’ll list them next).

·         Approval Process – Authorities review your request. You either get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or a rejection that wastes your time.

How much does it cost? Nothing. Zero. It’s 100% free. And yet, so many people never take advantage of it—simply because they don’t know it exists.

Must-Have Documents to Avoid Delays & Rejections

One missing document could get your request denied, delaying your plans for weeks—or even months. To avoid costly mistakes, make sure you submit:

·         A location map with site boundaries and dimensions.

·         A request letter to merge the corridor between your residential plots.

·         Ownership and utility details, including ADDC water and electricity bills.

·         Any extra supporting documents that may be required.

Miss one of these? Your application could be instantly rejected—so double-check everything before submission.

 How Long Does the Process Take?

You won’t believe it—just 5 working days! That’s all it takes to complete the entire land merger process, whether you’re a local or an expat. Compare that to the months some people waste trying to sell or reconfigure their land through traditional methods.

Merging land plots in Abu Dhabi is a powerful, underutilized tool that could significantly increase your property’s potential—but only if you take action. Need expert guidance? Call us at 800-2732 or email enquiries@cromptonpartners.com for a free consultation.
