What you should know about the Land Use Charge
In Lagos State, the Land Use Charge Law 2020 mandates payment by property owners, including lessees with at least a 10-year lease or recipients of property income.
Owners of vacant land are also liable to pay Land Use Charge.
Land Use Charge Demand Notices are issued by officials or can be requested via email or at the Land Use Charge office.
Exemptions apply to properties owned and occupied by pensioners, public libraries, non-profit cemeteries, palaces of Obas and Chiefs, and religious properties used for worship or education, but these owners must apply for exemption to the Lagos State Commissioner of Finance with evidence.
