Steps
- Fill in the PLUPA/DC 1A or 1B planning form (KSh 500) and attach your architectural and structural plans.
- Pay the Physical Planning scrutiny fee: KSh 3,000 ordinary or KSh 5,000 comprehensive.
- Pay the plinth-area fees. For a house: KSh 40 per sq.m for the architectural plan, and KSh 20 per sq.m for the structural plan outside Eldoret CBD. Commercial buildings pay KSh 40 per sq.m for each.
