The Oyo State government has announced a 60-day Online Building Permit Amnesty program, aimed at regularizing buildings constructed without proper government approval.
The program, which started on August 26 and ends on October 27, 2024, will also regularize buildings in violation of state regulations and process new approvals within the 60-day window.
According to Commissioner for Lands, Housing, and Urban Development, Mr. Williams Akin-Funmilayo, the program is part of Governor Seyi Makinde’s transformation and sustainable development agenda, aimed at improving urban planning and enhancing security and safety in the state.
Property owners can take advantage of the program to regularize their building permits at a 20% discounted rate. The online process will enable property owners to process their permits without falling victim to touts and middlemen.
However, properties illegally occupying state government acquisition zones, circular road or circular road set back, power line zones, and disallowable proximity to dams or streams will not be granted amnesty.
The government has urged property owners to take advantage of the program to regularize their buildings and support the government’s efforts to make Oyo State better, safer, and more viable.
