NAIROBI, Kenya — The Nairobi City County Government (NCCG) has launched a fresh drive to enrol unregistered properties into its Land Rates Database, targeting thousands of landowners across five sub-counties, including Kasarani and the broader Embakasi region.
In a public notice issued on Saturday, May 24, Acting County Secretary and Head of Public Service, Godfrey Akumali, called on residents to present documentation for properties not yet captured in the county’s digital system.
The move is part of Nairobi’s ongoing efforts to streamline land rate collection and boost revenue generation.
“Relevant county officers will be stationed at designated locations to offer land valuation, rates assessments and related services,” said Akumali. “They will also gather public feedback on the current rates system and payment procedures.”
Who’s Affected and Where to Go
Property owners in Ruai and Njiru wards have been directed to the Ruai Customer Care Centre, located next to the Embakasi Ranching Company offices.
Those in Mwiki, Kasarani, and Clay City are to report to the Kasarani Sub-County offices within the Kasarani DCC compound.
Residents of Utawala, Mihang’o, Embakasi, Upper and Lower Savannah wards are to submit their documentation at the Embakasi East Sub-County office, housed in the Embakasi Social Hall on Embakasi Road.
In Embakasi West, landowners from Umoja Phases 1 and 2, Kariobangi South, and Mowlem (KCC Settlement Scheme only) will be served at the sub-county office along Church Road, off Moi Drive.
For those in Embakasi Central, the designated centre is the sub-county office on Spine Road at Kayole Stage One.
In Embakasi North, services are available at the Dandora Phase 1 sub-county office, formerly known as the HDD offices.
What You’ll Need
To register, landowners must present:
- A copy of the title deed (with the owner’s contact details clearly stated),
- A copy of their national ID,
- KRA PIN certificate,
- A recently dated passport-sized photograph.
Akumali emphasized the importance of seizing this opportunity, especially given the decentralized access to services.
He also encouraged landowners to open rate payment accounts during this exercise.
Nairobi’s effort comes as the county government looks to plug revenue leaks and improve service delivery in a rapidly growing city where property ownership often exists in regulatory grey zones.
