Extra scrutiny fees may apply for factories or large commercial buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n The building plans undergo reviews and approvals by KNUPDA’s technical committees and the Kano Urban Planning Council. Recommendations may be provided for modifications.<\/span><\/p>\n Once approved, KNUPDA issues a development permit specifying any terms and conditions. Permits are typically valid for 2 years and can be renewed or extended.<\/span><\/p>\n During construction, regular inspections are carried out by KNUPDA officials and relevant professionals to ensure conformity to the approved plans.<\/span><\/p>\n After completion of construction, a certificate of fitness for occupancy is obtained from KNUPDA following a final on-site assessment.
