United Arab Emirates · Auxiliary · usually permanent
A garage is an ancillary building governed by Dubai Building Code setbacks and villa planning rules; in Dubai's revised rules a service annex/garage may reach ~8 m over two floors.
Placement rules
A garage is usually treated as an outbuilding; the main planning issues are boundary setback and driveway access.
Front setback
Major structures kept ≥1.5 m from the front boundary in Dubai's revised rules — verify your community map.
Local rules
Other conditions
Runoff, shading and other local-code conditions.
Approval
Requires building approval from the municipality / emirate authority.

Important limitation
The catalog is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the land plot category, local land-use and development rules, easements, utility protection zones and neighbour buildings.
