How to Get Building Plan Approval in Lagos State.

The Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA), a parastatal under the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development is in charge of Development Permit in Lagos State. Your land must have a Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) before your building can be assessed by the appropriate authorities.

�Step One: Get Architectural Drawings, Building Plan and Survey Plan.

Contact a certified architect that is aware of Lagos State building plan approval peculiarities to prepare a design and plan for you.

Tips:
Ensure that the rooms are cross ventilated.
Room sizes must not be less than 3m x 3.6m.
Ensure that the scaling is properly done.
Use legible lines.

�Step Two: Get Demand Notice from the District Officer and Make Payment.

Send your architectural drawings, building plan, title documents and survey plan to the district office for assessment and vetting after which it will be marked for approval. After getting an official government assessment and endorsement of your design, you’ll be required to pay a fee which is calculated based on your proposed design. Pay the fee at the bank. Carefully read and follow the instructions on the Payment Advice.

Tips:
The Payment Advice contains the Revenue Code and Agency Code that you will use to fill the bank teller.
Avoid paying into a wrong account or using a wrong code
Avoid time wastage due to the issuance of a receipt. Paying cash is faster than paying with cheques. Use any bank with fast internet connectivity.

�Step Three: Confirmation of Receipt at the Accounts Department of the District Office.

The accountant at the Physical Planning office will log on to LASG system to confirm your payment.

Tip:
Don’t wait until last minute to confirm your receipt because internet connection might be slow or unavailable.

�Step Four: Inspection by the District Office

A team from the District office will inspect your site to be sure that your land and other attributes of the building corresponds to what you have in the documents you presented. The Site Inspector, Charting officer, Architect and Site Engineer will write their reports. A difference in land size or other attributes presented on the plan and the actual land attributes could lead to problems.
