- Where
- In person with the County Government of Laikipia, Firefighting and Disaster Management (county phone 0740 031 031). The LaikipiaPay portal does not list fire inspection.
Steps
- Contact the county's Firefighting and Disaster Management team to book a fire inspection of your premises.
- Pay the inspection fee for your business type, for example KSh 500 for a retail shop or KSh 1,000 for a wholesale shop.
- Have your fire extinguishers inspected (KSh 200 each).
- Get the certificate of inspection; for commercial premises it costs KSh 5,000.
Watch out
- Fees are charged per inspection and some have come down: a small supermarket now pays KSh 2,000, not the old KSh 3,000.
- The Finance Act lists a KSh 5,000 commercial premises certificate as well as fees by business type, so ask the fire office which ones you pay.
Who can apply
- Businesses in Laikipia County, from small retail shops to hotels, supermarkets, banks, hospitals and factories.
