Cost Of Land Survey In Nigeria

The land survey cost in Nigeria is determined by two things: the land's size and location. 

For example, the cost of land survey in Lagos State is not the same as the cost of land survey in Ogun State, each state in Nigeria has a scale of fee which has to be consulted to cost the service of land (Cadastral) survey.

Also, the size of the property to the survey influences the cost of the survey, because land that is size 1000 Square Meters will cost less compared to land that is sized 10,000 Square meters.

The scale of fee of every state has categorised the charges for different land sizes and also within a state we can have a different fee for the different area for example in Lagos State we have three zones we have the Zone A area which covers Eti-Osa local government Apapa, Ikeja and Lagos Island including the areas categorised as special price area of Lagos State to check out the areas that are categorised as special areas of the state please click on the link below and we have the Zone B and Zone C to confirm the zone in which your land falls within in Lagos state, please click on the link below to study more on the cost of land for sale in Lagos State.

I will educate against popular misinformation that a provisional survey plan is fake firstly let's understand the full meaning of a provisional survey plan.

What is a provisional copy of a survey plan?

A provisional survey plan means that information on the survey plan can still be modified, which means the survey has not been submitted for record purposes at the surveyor general's office which is the final step in every documentation process once the mandatory fee payment has been made and pillar numbers and file number for that particular survey plan has been received.

This copy of the survey can be produced temporarily when the surveyor is in doubt about the land survey carried out before documentation and cant be used for any other official purpose other than charting to confirm the status of the land surveyed before proceeding to records submission and documentation. 

For you to better understand, let's define the word "provisional" 

Provisional is defined according to Oxford language as something that exists presently and possibly to be changed later.

Please do note that in the case in which the land falls within a committed government acquisition the record will not be accepted for submission in some states for example Lagos surveyor general's office but that does not mean the survey plan has been fraudulently produced contrary to popular misinformation on the issue or topic of survey land and documentation of survey records at the surveyor general's office.

Note: We at OME LAND MAPPING AND CONSULTANTS only use a provisional survey for the sole purpose of processing land information certificate in the absence of a certified true 

copy of the original survey from our client in the process of acquiring charting information of land.

We engage in the step of paying the state NIS chapter on all surveys to be carried out and delivering a certified true copy (CTC) of survey plans when carrying out a land survey and documentation procedures.

Also on the subject that a land survey should carry a stamp that says it is free from all known government acquisitions I would like to educate us on this matter a land survey with only carry a stamp that says it is free from all new government accusation if the landforms in a zone that has been excised or certified free from any other government acquisition.

This is because not all land under government acquisition is bad. After all, the government of the day is in charge of the administration of our lands so technically all land belongs to the government which is a short sentence known as government acquisition of land. because the government has acquired Ireland due to the law of the nation doesn't mean all lands that the government is in charge of are bad.
