I finally see that we are talking about 2 different things. The items that depend on your building size and location for building permit processing are the sq ft calculation on building plan, fencing fee, application and registration fee, layout fee, processing fee, stage certification fee etc. In law there is nothing called a building tax. When you are assessed all of the above, as part of the processing you provide evidence of tax payment. If you provide it or don’t have it the verification is done with LIRS and if you have a tax clearance certificate based on PAYE in my experience that suffices. It is when you don’t have that they start levying indiscriminately. Anyways, like you said let’s let the matter rest. Me I sha will not let anyone cheat me on these issues when I know the right thing

There is always a way things are done in a sane clime and a way it is done in Nigeria

From experience, whatever amount you pay or have payed as tax, LASG will always work an additional tax for you.

I have seen Lasppa District officer pay additional tax for her proposed build.

In the attached pix received for a client,(business owners that presented their tax clearance for each year) the husband and wife (MR and MRS) were asked to pay a sum of 650k each as additional tax.

Invariably, if you are seeking for building approval with the tittle MR and MRS. you will end up paying more for tax.

No setback rule..

I understand Security is perceived personally.

I'm leaning towards one- storey security house now.. like my PH people usually do. Its also good for over looking the area.

Not a standard metric tho
But 1m have been specified in one of our commercial design during vetting.

For residential, most times they don’t even request for gate house plan during vetting, Neither do they mandate you to show its position on your site plan. (Of course which I think is wrong) that’s why most people end up setting their standards themselves.

Looks more like a panel door than a flush door to me.

Anyway, disadvantages I think would include: 1. Future warping of the door if the wood isn't well treated with heat,
2. gap under the door leaving room for crawlers to gain access easily into the room,
3. Door not sound proof mainly due to the gap underneath
4. Exposure to moisture when used in the toilet may ultimately lead to wood rot.

Let us raise our walls

Oversite concrete pouring

Mechanical compaction

Back filling with Laterite soil

Using laterite soil (clay )as back filling material should be done well and carefully

Introduce water to allow for proper settlement

Compact effectively to remove voids to avoid future differential settlement

In our case we watered for couple of days and compacted with a mechanical compacting machine
