The law changed

An uninsured building is now a liability you carry alone.

Under the Lagos Building Insurance Scheme, cover is compulsory for every building owner. Without a valid policy, the cost of a fire, collapse or injury falls entirely on you, and so does the penalty.

Up to ₦5M

Regulatory penalty

Owners of non-compliant buildings face fines of up to five million Naira under the scheme.

Sealed

Building can be shut down

Authorities can seal a non-compliant building, halting business and tenancy until cover is in place.

100%

The loss is yours

Rebuilding after a fire or collapse, and any injury claim from occupiers, lands wholly on the owner.

Compliance is the easy part. Verify a building in seconds, or get yours covered today under the Lagos Building Insurance Scheme.

Compliance deadline

Time left to insure your building

Buildings across Lagos State must hold valid cover by 30 September 2026 under LAGBIS. Insure now to stay compliant and avoid penalties.
