What Is an External Annexe?
An external annexe (ملحق خارجي) is a separate structure built on the land adjacent to a villa, fully licensed by Abu Dhabi municipality. It can serve as a private majlis, guest room, home office, driver/maid quarters, or storage facility. In Abu Dhabi, external annexes must comply with TAMM (Abu Dhabi Digital Authority) building regulations and require a separate construction permit.
