Steps

  1. Pay your rates to the county's Receiver of Revenue, by electronic transfer or another method the County Treasury approves, or at the county rating offices.
  2. Get an official receipt for every payment and keep it.
  3. Selling or transferring land? The Lands Registry won't register the transfer until the county confirms all rates are paid, so clear your rates and get a clearance certificate first.

Watch out

  • Land rates are now 0.5% of the land's site value, the same in every zone. This replaced the old per-acre farm rates (KSh 300 an acre and up) in March 2026.
  • If you get a written demand for unpaid rates, you have 60 days to pay. After that the county can act, even auction the property.

Who can apply

  • Owners of land or buildings in Nandi County, including holders of leases with 21 years or more left
  • In some cases the person occupying the property is the one who pays
