Enforcement and Penalties for Non-Compliance
The Ministry of Finance also reminded the public that delayed or non-payment of the Land Use Charge could result in penalties. This could include additional fines, property sealing, or other enforcement actions allowed under the Land Use Charge Law. As such, property owners are strongly urged to pay promptly to avoid these consequences.
Public Inquiries and Support
For property owners needing assistance, the Lagos State Land Use Charge Customer Service is available through various contact channels, including phone lines, emails, and physical help desks across the state. This ensures that residents can quickly resolve billing issues or obtain clarifications.
Drive for Increased Revenue
The Land Use Charge is a critical revenue source for Lagos State, funding essential public services such as infrastructure development, waste management, healthcare, and education. The government’s offer of a 15% discount for early payment aims to boost compliance while lessening the financial strain on residents.
With the 2025 Land Use Charge bills now available, the Lagos State Government is urging property owners to take advantage of the 15% discount within the stipulated 30 days. Prompt payment not only secures this financial relief but also helps the government continue delivering critical services to the growing population of Africa’s largest city.
