In a move aimed at providing financial relief to land and plot owners in Kiambu County, the County Government, led by His Excellency Dr. Kimani Wamatangi, has announced a 100% interest and penalties that have accrued on unpaid land rates up to 29th February 2024.
Land rates refer to the tax imposed by the government on land, with the amount varying based on the land’s market value. The appreciation of land value is influenced by amenities such as water, streetlights, sewerage systems, and better roads. In Kenya, land rates are collected by the county government.
The waiver, as announced by the County Government, comes with specific conditions that land and plot owners must adhere to in order to benefit. To qualify for the 100% waiver on interest and penalties, owners are required to settle the outstanding principal land rates within the stipulated waiver period. This time-sensitive condition emphasizes the importance of prompt action to take advantage of the relief measures.
