ACTDA Portal - Awka Capital Territory Development Authority
Apply for, pay for and track a building permit in the Awka Capital Territory online.
The ACTDA Portal lets property developers in the Awka Capital Territory apply for building permits online. A developer registers with their ASIN, chooses the local processing authority for the site, enters owner, professional, plot and building details, uploads drawings and ownership documents, and follows the application through review, inspection, payment and approval. The same portal handles building commencement and completion notices, permit revalidation, contraventions and appeals against revocation.

In practice
What it looks like
A family building a duplex in Awka applies for a building permit, uploads the survey plan and architectural drawings, and pays the demand notice online.
A developer who got a permit two years ago but never started building applies for revalidation instead of starting from scratch.
A contractor notifies ACTDA that construction has started using the commencement form, and later files for completion.
