The Lagos State Government has announced the release of the 2025 Land Use Charge bill, providing property owners with a 15% discount for payments made within 30 days of receiving the bill.
Abayomi Oluyemi, the state’s Commissioner for Finance, made the announcement on Sunday, urging residents to take advantage of this early payment incentive. “The Land Use Charge is a vital revenue source that supports the improvement of public infrastructure such as roads, schools, healthcare facilities, and security,” Oluyemi stated.
The commissioner highlighted several key projects funded through taxpayers’ contributions, including the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue and Red Lines, the rehabilitation of key roads, and expansion of healthcare facilities.
Oluyemi also emphasized Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s vision of transforming Lagos into a globally competitive megacity, calling on property owners to contribute to this mission by fulfilling their civic duties.
To make payments convenient, the state offers various methods including Internet banking, mobile payment via USSD codes, bank deposits, and POS systems at Land Use Charge offices.
