MPPUD Portal - Physical Planning
Submit planning applications, upload site plans and track approvals across the State's permit workflow.
The MPPUD Portal is the State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development's online permit system. Developers create an account in four steps starting from their ASIN, then apply for building permits, amendments, revalidations and fencing permits, choosing the district office responsible for the site. Applications move through review, survey review and inspection, and developers pay and track everything from one dashboard.
What it does
All 12 features
- Four-step developer registration that starts from the ASIN and pulls details from the State register (individual or corporate)
- Sign-in with optional six-digit authenticator code
- Building permit applications, including buildings added one by one with coverage, floors and volume
- Building permit amendment and revalidation
- Fencing permit application: fence length, width and height (volume calculated automatically), fence address, estimated cost and beacon or pillar numbers
- District office selection for each application
- Proof of ownership and land certification upload; survey plan number and layout details
- Upload of drawings and reports including a technical planner report
- Environmental and health checklist (access road, drainage, ventilation, lighting, sanitary facilities, septic tank and soak-away, air space, siting)
- Building commencement and completion notices, revocation appeals and contravention records
- Comments thread on each application and an option to edit queried applications
- Online payment with on-screen receipt (applicant ASIN, application ID, amount, date)

In practice
What it looks like
A landowner in Nnewi applies for a fencing permit, enters the fence dimensions and beacon numbers, and pays online.
A developer changes the design of an approved building and files a building permit amendment.
An applicant whose application was queried reads the officer's comment, edits the form and resubmits.
Why it matters
What changes
- Planning applications no longer need to be carried from office to office
- Applicants can follow approvals and queries online
- Fencing permits and amendments are handled in the same place as building permits
- Account details are pre-filled from the State ASIN register
