Permits and Regulations: What’s New for Home Renovations in Lagos

Renovating your home in Lagos? It’s crucial to understand the latest regulations to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.

🔍 What Counts as Renovation?

In Lagos, renovation isn’t limited to structural changes. It includes:

Replacing floor tiles

Re-plastering walls

Changing windows and doors

Re-roofing

Kitchen and bathroom remodelling

Plumbing and electrical work

Even aesthetic improvements require a permit from the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) .

📝 Required Documents

To obtain a renovation permit, you’ll need:

An as-built drawing showing the proposed alteration superimposed on the existing design

A copy of the previous building plan permit (if any)

A letter of structural stability and indemnity signed by a registered structural engineer

A Non-Destructive Test (NDT) report

Permit Fees and Penalties

If your building lacks a previous planning permit, the application will attract 25% of the supposed processing fee before a permit can be granted .

supervision Requirements

Before commencing renovation works, visit the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) with your permit and a letter of supervision from a COREN-registered structural engineer (for cases of reconstruction/remodelling) .
