Edo Govt To Enforce Land Tax Payment, Warns Defaulters
The Edo State Government has issued a warning to property owners in the state to pay their Land Use Charge (LUC), a land-based tax that includes property tax, ground rent, and tenement rate.
According to a statement by the Director of Media, Edo State Geographic Information Service (EDOGIS), Dr. Tunde Eigbiremolen, government officials will soon enforce the law on defaulters.
The enforcement is aimed at recovering all outstanding indebtedness to the government, which will be used to fund ongoing infrastructural development projects across the state.
EDOGIS, the agency responsible for managing and administering the state's land resources, has served notices to defaulters and debtors, informing them of their outstanding Land Use Charges.
Defaulters have been warned to settle their debts promptly to avoid further enforcement actions and penalties, which include outright closure of the property, imposition of penalties, and legal actions.
Property owners who wish to discuss payment options or seek clarification on their outstanding debts have been advised to contact the EDOGIS office.
