Enforcement on defaulters of the 2025 Land Use Charge (LUC) in Lagos State will soon commence after the release of the 2026 bills.
The Permanent Secretary in the Lagos State Ministry of Finance, Mr Tajudeen Mahmud Alao, has urged property owners to take advantage of the 15 per cent early payment discount by settling their bills within the stipulated period.
“The Land Use Charge is not merely a statutory obligation; it is a civic responsibility that directly supports the growth and development of our state.
“Every payment made contributes to better roads, improved healthcare, quality education, enhanced security, and a cleaner environment.
“We urge all property owners to fulfil their obligations promptly and support the government’s vision for a Greater Lagos,” he said at the release of this year’s fees.
He reaffirmed the commitment of the state government to the sustained delivery of critical infrastructure and essential public services across the state.
The Land Use Charge remains a vital revenue source that supports the development, maintenance, and upgrade of public infrastructure, including roads, healthcare facilities, schools, and security systems.
Taxpayer contributions have facilitated the successful delivery of transformative projects such as the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line and the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Red Line, which are significantly improving urban mobility and reducing travel time across the metropolis.
These funds have also supported the construction and rehabilitation of strategic roads and bridges to ease traffic congestion and enhance connectivity, the expansion and modernisation of healthcare facilities to improve access to quality medical services, and strengthened security initiatives to ensure a safer environment for residents and businesses.
Payment for LUC can be made through internet banking, designated bank branches across the state, mobile payment via USSD codes, Point of Sale (POS) terminals available at LUC offices, the Lagos Online Assistant (LOLA) WhatsApp robotic payment platform +2348078441111, and Lagos Revenue Portal (LRP) on https://revenue.lagosstate.gov.ng/.
