House numbering entails the allocation of a unique number to each building, tenement or compound along a street, road or occupied area, with the intention of making it easier to locate particular structures or tenements.

Our purpose is not to change your house number; our purpose is to implement a system where all structures will be assigned a permanent house numberto ensure orderliness, especially in properties occupying two or more boundaries.

The State Government is implementing a program that will follow global standards in issuing the correct house number.

The State Government is paying forthe house number plaques and installation.

The number plaque is of reflective sheet engineering grade, measuring 254 x 254 mm with 3mm thickness, which will be installed with anodized bolts.

The House Number Plaques will have the street name and the number for each house on the named street as well as the crest of the Lagos State Government and the inscription; "Property of Lagos State Government".

It will be displayed on the fence, outer pillar or wall of the qualifying structure in such a way as to make it clearly visible from the road or street and this shall not be lower than 4 feet or higher than 6 feet from the ground level.

The property owner shall remove all old numbers, inscriptions or plaque within a period of three hundred and sixty five (365 days) after the installation of a new plaque.

We are starting with Surulere Local Government but will gradually work our way round all the Local Government Areas within the State during the course of the exercise.

It’s everyone’s responsibility to notify interested parties with his/her new
house number; however, LASAA will notify the major Government Agencies and other
major interested parties.

Our purpose is not to change your house number; we will at all times try to keep the same number if at all and where possible. We are trying to create a uniform and orderly house numbering system, which will elevate the status of our State in the global marketplace.
