TO APPLY FOR LAND USE CHARGE EXEMPTION AS A PENSIONER LIVING IN LAGOS STATE*
As a pensioner in Lagos State, you can apply for exemption from the Land Use Charge (LUC) by following the procedure outlined below.
Under the Lagos State Land Use Charge Law, owner-occupiers who are pensioners (either under the public or private sector) are eligible for exemption.
The steps to take are below:
1. Write an application letter with the following supporting documents:
a. A letter of retirement or proof of being a pensioner
b. A valid means of identification
c. A Utility Bill (e.g., electricity or water bill) showing proof of residence.
d. A copy of the Title Document of the property (e.g., Certificate of Occupancy, Deed of Assignment, or Registered Conveyance).
e. A Sworn Affidavit confirming that the property is owner-occupied and not used for commercial purposes.
2. Submit the Application
Submit the application letter and supporting documents to the Land Use Charge Assessment Office at the Lagos State Ministry of Finance or any LUC office near you.
Ensure you collect an acknowledgment copy of the letter after submission for ease of follow-up.
3. Verification and Approval
The Lagos State Government will review and verify your application.
If successful, you will receive a response that exempts you from paying the Land Use Charge.
Please Note:
The exemption only applies to pensioners who personally reside in the property. If the property is rented out or used for commercial purposes, the exemption will not apply.
The government conducts periodic reviews to confirm continued eligibility for the exemption. If the property has changed status after the exemption has been granted, the exemption can be revoked.

Adron Homes Chairman Commends Oyo State’s Real Estate Reforms, Urges Policy Continuity
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Adron Group, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking, KOF, has commended the Oyo State Government for its bold reforms in the real estate sector, describing the state as a land of “history, enterprise, and endless possibilities.”
Aare Adetola remarked while delivering a goodwill message titled “The Real Estate Called Oyo State” at the 2025 Oyo State Real Estate Conference, held in Ibadan.
The event, themed “Real Estate and Economic Development in Oyo State: Strategies for Success,” brought together top real estate developers, government officials, and investors to discuss strategies for improving housing delivery and driving economic growth in the state.
Organised by the Office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Housing and Urban Development in collaboration with the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), the conference highlighted the need for policy stability, public-private partnerships, and innovation in real estate development.
In his address, the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to transparency and investor confidence through the digitalisation of land records (OYOGIS), improved urban planning, and major infrastructure upgrades across the state.
He also cited the passage of the Oyo State Land Control and Administration Bill, 2023, and the establishment of the Anti-Land Grabbing Task Force as key reforms curbing land disputes and promoting sustainable property ownership. Ogundoyin praised major developers such as Adron Homes and MKH Properties for their role in boosting investor trust in the Oyo property market.
In his goodwill message, Aare Adetola Emmanuelking applauded the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde, FNSE, for maintaining consistency in land policies and governance structures, which he said had continued to attract serious investors to Oyo State.
He recalled that Adron Homes made its foray into Ibadan nearly a decade ago based on the state’s stable policy environment, a decision that has since yielded impressive results. He, however, urged the state government and future administrations to ensure policy continuity, warning that inconsistency could derail the progress already achieved.
The conference ended with a collective resolve by stakeholders to deepen collaboration between the public and private sectors, strengthen regulatory transparency, and create a business environment that will make Oyo State a model for real estate investment in Nigeria.
