RATING
ADMINISTRATION IN NIGERIA
(A
CASE STUDY OF NNOBI IN IDEMILI SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA IN ANAMBRA STATE)
ABSTRACT
Property rating in Nigeria is a major contribution of knowledge in the area of
rating administration in Nigeria has not been accorded the priority it deserves
as an important item of re venue for local government authorities which
rely mainly on funds from the federation account.
In developed countries of the world, local government authorities depend to a
large extent on the revenue from property rating to finance their programmers.
Because most local governments are cash strapped and indigent. They find it
almost impossible to function efficiently most of them have no deeply
entrenched viable revenue base.
This thesis proffers solution to the problems in order to solve the perennial
shortage of skilled manpower in rating
administration.

INTRODUCTION
Property
Rating is also called local taxation; it can be described as levies imposed by
local governments on owners or occupiers or users of landed property. In
Nigeria the owners of landed property are taxed while in the United Kingdom the
occupiers are taxed.
The
purpose of rating valuation is to arrive at a figure termed ratable value on
which rates are levied upon the rate payer at so much in the naira in order to
defray the expenses of the local government.
In
Nigeria proceeds from property rates are expected to be used for specific
projects like water supply, refuse disposal, street lighting community halls,
roads and markets and maintenance of infrastructural facilities at local
levels.
This
thesis aims at reviewing rating administration in Nnobi, in Idemili South local
government area in Anambra State.
1.2
BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
It
was difficult not to see the local government groaning under it liabilities
while little or nothing was coming in from the Federal and State government the
fourth Republic took a turn for the worse for local governments with the zero
allocation syndromes. It behooves local governments; therefore generate their
own revenue to maintain their sustainability.
This
study looks into the present system of administration of property rating in
local government.
1.3
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
A
study of this nature can be all encompassing but this particular one seeks to
look at all the statements made in favour and against property rating in Nnobi
Idemili South Local Government Area.
Supporters
of the system say administration and implementation has been the bane of its
failure.
The
unsatisfactory state of affairs is looked at to improve on this service. The
problems I wish to solve in this research work are:-
i.
Personnel problems
ii.
Ignorance and landlord’s absenteeism
iii.
Lack of adequate materials
iv.
Lack of proper records
v.
Lack of interest towards Rating
vi.
Poor Street naming and housing
numbering.
1.4
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1.
To examine the administration machinery
in Idemili South Local Government Area.
2.
To make comparative analysis of the
revenue sources in Idemili South Local Government Area with other local
government areas.
3.
To evaluate the performance of the
rating system and practice, and see if it can be make better.
4.
To make recommendations as to better
ways of administering property rating.
5.
The procedure for the implementation of
rating the system.
6.
To identify some of the problems that
are militating against effective and efficient property rating in Idemili South
Local Government Area.
1.5 SCOPE
OF STUDY
This
study is a result of the inspection of hereditament in three of the fourteen
(14) zones in Idemili South Local Government Area.
For
cost and time constrains, a sample of the three zones covered the fourteen is
taken as a guide in the analysis of the revenue pattern of Idemili south Local
Government Area better machinery has been put in place to collect the rate. As
the dividends of democracy began to reach the people in the form of good roads,
electricity supply, security, etc. the property owners/occupier are normally
compelled to pay their rates.
Without
rating administration there will be problems on arriving at a figure termed to
be levied on people.
1.6
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This
study will highlight grounds for reforms in current property rating
administration system in the state.
It
will also advice on how to make the system and practices of property rating in
Idemili south Local Government Area.
More
effective and efficient and eliminate the current dependence on Federal
Allocation which these days are unreliable and insufficient.
Idemili
South local Government Authority in particular and other local government
departments charged with rating administration responsibility are equally to
benefit from this study.
