What you need to know:

  • The rates to be levied will depend on the size of the unit and its location.
  • The Nairobi City County Government Finance Act 2022, assented to by Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja last year, provides for land rates for residential, commercial and agricultural land.

Nairobi residents who own apartments within blocks and share common areas within apartments will have to pay land rates to the county government from January 2024.

The new rates are in line with the Sectional Properties Act of 2021, which is already in force.
