Land subdivision in Kenya, handled end to end
From the first search on the parent title to individual titles in your hand. We design the subdivision scheme, push it through county planning approval, survey and beacon every new parcel, and see the mutation through registration.
What you receive
How the work runs
- Step 01
Feasibility
We check tenure, encumbrances, zoning and minimum plot size so you know what yield is realistically approvable before spending.
- Step 02
Scheme design
A subdivision layout balancing plot sizes, access roads, utility corridors and any set-asides the county requires.
- Step 03
Approvals
Submission to physical planning, response to conditions, and land control board consent where the land is agricultural.
- Step 04
Survey and titles
Beaconing on the ground, mutation preparation, deed plans and registration so each parcel gets its own title.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the land subdivision process in Kenya?
- In outline: a search and status check on the title, a subdivision scheme prepared by a surveyor and planner, approval by the county physical planning department and the land control board where applicable, the actual survey and beaconing, then mutation and registration so each new parcel gets its own title.
- How long does subdivision take?
- Typically three to nine months. The survey work itself takes days; the timeline is driven by county planning approval, the land control board sitting calendar and registration at the lands registry.
- What is a mutation form and why does it matter?
- The mutation is the survey document that formally splits a parent parcel into new parcels and creates the new numbers. Without an approved mutation your subdivision does not exist in the register, no matter what is on the ground.
- What is the minimum plot size I can subdivide to?
- It depends on the county's zoning policy and whether the land is agricultural or urban. Agricultural land is protected against fragmentation below county thresholds. We check the applicable zoning before we design the scheme.
- Can you handle the approvals as well as the survey?
- Yes. We prepare the subdivision scheme, submit for planning approval, run the survey and beaconing, and follow the mutation through registration so you receive individual titles.
