Lagos State Building Permit Amnesty 2025 Regularise Your Property Without Penalties

Do you own a building in Lagos State without a valid planning permit?

The Lagos State Government has announced a 61-day amnesty period from 1st November to 31st December 2025, allowing property owners to obtain planning permits for existing unapproved buildings—without paying statutory penalties.

This is your opportunity to:

• Avoid demolition and legal sanctions

• Comply with LASPPPA regulations and secure your investment

• Protect your property against future enforcement action

If your building lacks approval from the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA), now is the time to act.

The Lagos State Government has reintroduced the Building Permit Amnesty Programme for property owners with unapproved structures.

Amnesty Period:
1st November – 31st December 2025 (61 days)

During this window, owners of existing buildings without planning permits can apply to the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) and obtain approval—without paying the usual statutory penalties.

This amnesty applies to residential, commercial, and industrial properties across Lagos State that were built without proper building plan approval.

Why this matters:
Buildings without valid permits are at risk of government sanctions, including stop-work orders, fines, and demolition. This programme gives you a compliance pathway with zero penalties—but only until 31st December 2025.

To qualify for the Lagos State Building Permit Amnesty 2025, you must submit a complete application to LASPPPA with the following documents:

• Title document or proof of ownership

• Survey plan

• As-built architectural drawings

• Structural, electrical, and mechanical drawings (where applicable)

• Non-Destructive Integrity Test Report (where applicable)

• Letter of structural stability and indemnity (where applicable)

• Land Use Planning Analysis Report

• Tax compliance documents

• Other supporting documents as required

Important:

• Amnesty approval is only granted to applicants with complete documentation.
