Consequences of Ignoring LASPPPA

Many people try to avoid LASPPPA because they think it saves money and time. However, the risks are huge:

1. Demolition of Property – If your building is not approved, LASPPPA can mark it for demolition.

2. Hefty Fines – You may be charged penalties that are more expensive than the original fees.

3. Legal Problems – You could face court cases for violating Lagos State planning laws.

4. Loss of Investment – Without LASPPPA approval, selling or using your property as collateral becomes difficult.

5. Safety Risks – Unapproved buildings may not meet safety standards, which can endanger lives.
