Hi. The idea that they will give you exorbitant rate is no correct. Rates are determined based on location of your property. If you go to AGIS once you give them the copy of your land document they will pull out the rate that applies to your property from the system. Remember that’s regarding ground rent and it applies to FCDA allocation I believe and it is collected every year from the day land is allocated.

As to tenement rate, this is rate that is under the purview of the area councils and it is often charged every year after full development of your property as such charge is based on property valuation, meaning your property type and size will determine how much you pay. They equally have a template for calculating this rate. Visit the relevant office for proper guidance as it applies to you. Thanks!
