Edo State's Land Use Charge is a state-level annual property tax under the Edo State Land Use Charge Law, 2023 (assented 6 June 2023) — distinct from Lagos's, Ogun's, Oyo's, Kano's, Ondo's, and Enugu's own state-level property taxes and from Nigeria's federal taxes — charged on land and buildings within Edo State. It's TaxLane's first calculator for the South-South region.
The nine-row rate Schedule, the two-method depreciation table, and the exemption/discretionary-relief categories are confirmed at government-source confidence, read directly from the gazetted Law's own text. What's not fixed: your land area and per-square-metre land/building values are your own estimates — EDOGIS's own professional valuers set no published neighbourhood benchmark table this calculator can draw from instead.
Edo's Law computes one formula, not additive components like Kano's: rateable value (land area × your estimated land value per m², plus building area × your estimated building value per m² × a depreciation rate) multiplied by a charge rate that depends on your property category. Seven categories carry a published rate — from 0.025% for vacant/undeveloped land up to 0.375% for commercial premises — and two categories (government-owned property and senior citizens' owner-occupied residential, 70+) are fully exempt right in the rate Schedule itself. The depreciation rate comes from whichever of two published tables applies: an age-based table if your building is registered in the State Lands Registry, or a condition-based table if it isn't. Pick your property category above to see which fields apply, and select an exemption or discretionary-relief reason if one applies to you.
It estimates Edo State's Land Use Charge under the Edo State Land Use Charge Law, 2023 (assented 6 June 2023) — a state-level annual property tax, distinct from Lagos's, Ogun's, Oyo's, Kano's, Ondo's, and Enugu's own state-level property taxes and from Nigeria's federal taxes. It's TaxLane's first calculator for the South-South region.
Nine, all fixed directly in the Law's own Schedule (not delegated to a future notice): Owner-Occupied Residential 0.040%, Commercial Residential (3rd-party occupier) 0.150%, Commercial Premises 0.375%, Industrial Premises 0.20%, Institutional Premises 0.10%, Agricultural Concerns 0.075%, and Vacant/Undeveloped Land 0.025% — plus two categories the Schedule marks fully exempt outright: Government-Owned Property (excluding rentals) and Senior Citizens' Owner-Occupied Residential (70 years and above).
Two methods, both fully published in the Schedule. If your building is registered in the State Lands Registry, an age-based table applies: 1% for 0–5 years old, stepping down by 0.1 percentage points every 5 years to 0.1% for 46–50 years old. If it isn't registered, a condition-based rate applies instead, at the valuer's discretion: New 5%, Good 10%, Fair 20%, Poor 30%, Old 40%, Dilapidated 50%.
The Law's formula multiplies land area and building area by per-square-metre neighbourhood benchmark values that only EDOGIS's own Agency-appointed professional valuers set — no published per-neighbourhood rate table was found anywhere reachable, the same gap every prior full-estimator state LUC calculator in this series has hit. Enter your own honest estimate instead; your result may not match EDOGIS's own assessment.
Five categories are fully exempt under Section 13(1): property owned and occupied by a religious body and used exclusively for worship; public cemeteries and burial grounds; property used as a public library; any property the Governor specifically exempts by Gazette notice; and palaces of recognized traditional rulers in the State. Any of these five loses its exemption if leased out to a private entity for revenue generation. Government-owned property (excluding rentals) and senior citizens' owner-occupied residential property (70+) are separately exempt via the rate Schedule itself, not this section, and don't carry the same leasing forfeiture condition.
Section 13(2) lets EDOGIS grant case-by-case relief for non-profit-occupied property, community sports/recreation property, or charitable/benevolent-purpose property owned by a non-profit — but no fixed percentage is published anywhere. Selecting one of these reasons doesn't change this calculator's estimated figure; it only shows a disclaimer that a discretionary reduction may apply, and to confirm the exact amount with EDOGIS.
