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.
