The Nairobi County Government has announced a six-month amnesty allowing landlords and developers with unauthorised buildings to regularise their properties without penalties.
In a notice issued on Thursday, December 18, the county urged affected property owners to submit available documents, even if incomplete, to initiate the regularisation process. Applications will be processed through the Nairobi Planning and Development Management System (NPDMS), sub-county offices, or City Hall.
County Executive Committee Member for Built Environment and Urban Planning Patrick Mbogo said planning officers will guide applicants on additional requirements before issuing conditional approvals, followed by Certificates of Compliance once conditions are met.
However, developments on public land, riparian reserves, protected areas, unsafe structures, or properties under court orders are excluded.
The move aims to reduce enforcement disputes, curb demolitions, and integrate developments into county infrastructure planning.
