The annual rent a title holder pays to the FCT Administration for the land.
Because land is held under a right of occupancy, the holder pays an annual ground rent to government. The amount depends on the land use and location.
Unpaid ground rent accumulates with the plot and can be a ground for Revocation. FCT authorities have published lists of defaulters and revoked titles over unpaid rent in the past.
What to check
- Ask the seller for ground rent receipts and confirm the balance with AGIS before you pay.
