LGU service

Housing and Land Use

Locational clearance, zoning, subdivision approval, and local housing programmes.

What to bring

The standard set. Your LGU may ask for more.

  • Lot title or tax declaration
  • Site development plan
  • Barangay clearance
Which office

Zoning Office or Planning and Development Office

Processing time
Set by each office and published in its Citizens Charter. We do not guess at it.

Every LGU runs this slightly differently. The fee, the processing time and the exact form vary. RA 11032 requires each LGU to publish its Citizens Charter with those specifics, and we are collecting all 120.
