Busuulu is the nominal fee one pays for living on one's land annually. In villages, it is 5000ugx. In town boards, 30,000ugx. In Municipalities, it is 40,0000ugx. In Cities, it is 50,0000ugx.
When constructing, you only pay consent to develop if you already, Kanzu was already paid when you were buying. If not, you are then required to pay consent to develop and Kanzu. To pay consent to develop, in Kampala and Wakiso, you need to submit your building plan, and your ownership documentation.
The busuulu fees mentioned above were determined by the Minister of Lands and District Land Boards in the different areas. You need an approved building plan before u start constructing be it Kabaka's land or not. The urban authorities have enforcement teams that check on none Compliance. BLB works in collaboration or support with the enforcement teams. In some cases, BLB has signed MOUs with urban authorities to carry out enforcement activities. Such teams can Confiscate building materials on behalf of the town councils, municipality or planning authorities. They can also require you to pay penalties. Payment of penalties such as 300k doesn't mean that you are then free to construct. You still have got to pay for plan approvals.

The most important process is getting consent to build from BLB. It is that clearance that the urban council depends on to approve your plan especially if you have no land title. If your plan was approved without it, I ask that you get it to avoid future disturbances.
Why is Buganda Land Board keen on helping urban councils enforce the building rules?
1. It is fathomed that enforcing the rule of building with approved plans will eliminate slums off Kabaka's land. Kabaka's land is grappling with slums. Slums reduce the value of the Land; affecting both Buganda kingdom and the tenants especially at time of selling, mortgaging, compensations. Slums also proliferate crime, disease.
2. Building with approved plans acts as a gatekeeper against land/bibanja grabbers since for one to get an approved plan, proof of ownership of the land/kibanja they are to build on is the first requirement.
