Goa's Land Conversion Fee Structure

26 Jun 2024 CW Team

The Town and Country Planning Department of Goa has revised its fee structure for land conversion. This move is aimed at streamlining the process, ensuring transparency, and promoting responsible land use. The revised fee structure applies to various types of land, including residential, commercial, and industrial, impacting landowners and developers across the state.

Key changes include an increase in the fees for converting agricultural land to non-agricultural uses. This is intended to discourage haphazard development and protect agricultural land from unnecessary conversion. Additionally, the new fee structure includes differentiated rates based on the location and size of the land, reflecting its market value and potential impact on infrastructure.

The revised fees also incorporate provisions to encourage the development of affordable housing. Lower fees are applied to projects that contribute to the state?s affordable housing goals, aligning with Goa?s broader objectives of sustainable urban development and housing for all.

These changes are expected to generate additional revenue for the state, which will be reinvested in infrastructure and public services. The new fee structure aims to balance development needs with environmental conservation, ensuring that land use changes are both economically and ecologically viable.

In summary, the revised fee structure by Goa?s Town and Country Planning Department is a significant step towards modernizing land management practices. It ensures that land conversions are conducted transparently and responsibly, benefiting both the environment and the community.
