What Is a Public Auction Sale Permit in Dubai

A public auction sale permit is an official authorisation issued by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) that allows a licensed entity to sell real estate through a public or electronic auction. The permit confirms that the property is eligible for auction, that the organiser is authorised to conduct auction activities, and that the sale will proceed under DLD supervision in accordance with applicable regulations.

The service is used for auctions organised by licensed auction companies, judicial entities such as Dubai Courts, the Minors Affairs Department, and developers conducting authorised sales. Each permit is issued for a specific auction event and is recorded in the DLD system.

When Is a Public Auction Permit Required

A public auction permit is required for any real estate auction conducted in Dubai, regardless of whether it is held physically or electronically. You must apply for a DLD auction permit in the UAE in the following cases:

A real estate company or auction organiser wishes to conduct a public or e-Auction real estate sale in Dubai.
A court or official authority plans to sell the property at auction.
A developer needs to sell repossessed, trust-held, or unsold units via public bidding.
All properties are listed for auction under DLD supervision.

The permit ensures that the property status, ownership, valuation, and legal conditions have been reviewed before the auction is announced or conducted.

Eligibility and Required Documentation

The permit can be requested by licensed auction companies, real estate developers, judicial authorities, and other entities authorised to conduct property auctions. Applications submitted on behalf of an owner must include a valid Power of Attorney.

DLD requires a complete documentation package, including:

A valid title deed
A recent property map
A valuation certificate issued for auction purposes (valid for six months)
Identification documents for the property owner
Company licence documents, when applicable

DLD reviews these documents to confirm ownership, verify the property status in the Real Property Register, and ensure that the applicant is authorised to conduct or supervise the auction.

Procedural Features of the DLD Auction Permit

The auction permit is issued through DLD’s secure electronic system. After the application is submitted, DLD reviews the ownership records, confirms that the property is eligible for auction, and checks that no restrictions or attachments prevent its sale. The valuation certificate is verified to ensure that it is issued by a DLD-licensed valuer and is valid for auction purposes.

The DLD also confirms the eligibility of the applicant, including the legal authority of the auction company, developer, or judicial entity submitting the request. Once all documents meet regulatory requirements, the permit is issued electronically.

The standard processing time is approximately two business days, and each permit is issued for a single auction event.

Where to Apply for a Public Auction Sale Permit

Applications may be submitted through:

The Dubai Land Department website
Authorised Real Estate Services Trustee Centres, such as EGSH

When submitted through EGSH, consultants review the documentation, submit the application through DLD’s secure platform, and track the file until approval.

The permit is issued electronically and becomes available for organising and advertising the auction in accordance with DLD and RERA requirements.

Hello, My Name is Kelvin it was my first time to hear EGSH Emirates Govt from my sponsor. I was assisted By Mrs Maria Claudia Garcia the experience was amazing from the beginning to the End she has been supporting and guiding me through all the process. I am grateful to her and the entire team for the help. I trust and believe EGSH is a place to recommend to family members and friends.

A very hassle free experience from EGSH. Special mention of Ms.Zara who was most helpfull. Her quick response to queries and swift action are much appeciated.

We had the pleasure of being assisted by the lovely Ms Maria and Ms Randa. They were clear concise and super professional throughout our whole process of renewing our Ejari and business licence. Maria provided continued support while we were waiting for our business Ejari to come through and made it a simple seamless process. I can’t thank these lovely ladies enough. We saved so much money going direct and it was refreshing knowing we are not over paying going through a PRO or typing service company that add so many fees. I saved over 6000aed just for reference. Thank you to EGSH staff. Especially Maria & Randa 🙏

EGSH in art of living is the best Hub center for every thing that you want in dubai Specially Ms.ZARA MOSHIRI is the advisor and assistance and she is beside you in every step Thank you Ms.ZARA MOSHIRI and EGSH

I recently visited this institution had an exceptional experience! Ms. Maria Claudia took the time to understand my needs and preferences. I really appreciate her support and services.

Good morning, I needed to apply for the Golden Visa and went to this EGSH Emirates office. I was very impressed by their facilities and the peaceful atmosphere. We were fortunate to be assisted by María Claudia García, who provided exceptional service. She advised and helped us every step of the way, guiding us through the entire process until we obtained the Golden Visa. Honestly, people with this level of professionalism and personal touch make one feel more at ease and integrated into this country. Thank you!

I would like to express my appreciation to Ray from EGSH for his outstanding assistance in handling the transfer of our property at Rove Hotel. He was very helpful, accommodating, and patient throughout the entire process, from addressing transaction concerns and verifying documents to the actual property transfer and ensuring the new owner received the title deed…

I worked with Amir and Zara, they took care of everything, I only had to send the mandatory information. In a very short time, everything was completed. I was amazed, considering how difficult it had seemed before. Not to mention, the fees were the same or even lower than those of the other companies I mentioned. For me, it was a 10/10 experience, the quickest and smoothest process someone could have in this journey. Strongly recommend them.

Zara assisted me with my Ejari registration, and she was absolutely amazing. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and delivered everything promptly. Truly a pleasure to work with!

THE BEST!!! Zara you are as always star

Thanks to EGSH and to Zara for Excellent service — professional, attentive, and truly pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

Went there for ejari cancellation. Excellent place. Staff was so cooperative. Ms Maria and Ms Fatima assist me and it was a fast process.

This is probably the best government service hub in Dubai. You come in, asked to be seated, and the staff will come to you instead of standing on the reception and on queue. They will offer you tea and water are available at each table. Really embodies the Emirati hospitality and what seamstresses Dubai is known for.

I was here the morning of this post. The concierge like service with a contact person arranging for you all the difeerent interactions is making the interactuon as smooth as possible. A truly delightful experience and a true commitment to service excellence, thank you for the great experience and for the initiative to present government interactions in this way!

Outstanding service — fast, friendly, and highly professional. Thank you very much!

I’ve been here for the first time and I can say that this organization definitely worth to come here and make all proceeds with their help! We were changing the owner and such difficult process was really easy for us with your help and most of the time it was done online. So I’m very grateful to Mrs Zara and her support during all the process❤️

I had an excellent experience with Natalia Baiamonte from EGSH while getting Ejari certificate. From the very beginning, she was professional, attentive, and extremely helpful. Natalia guided me through the process clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made task feel simple and stress-free. Highly recommend Natalia for her outstanding customer service and dedication!
