The Nairobi City County Government launched a fresh crackdown to bring thousands of unauthorized developments into compliance with planning laws.
In a public notice issued by the County Executive Committee Member for Built Environment and Urban Planning, City Hall invited developers, property owners, land-buying companies, and investors with unapproved projects to apply for regularization.
The exercise is anchored in the Nairobi City County Regularization of Unauthorized Development Act, 2025.
Chief Officer for Urban Development and Planning, Patrick Analo, said the initiative seeks to grant approvals to buildings and structures erected without permits but which meet minimum planning and safety standards.
“To ensure transparency, the county government will publish notices of unauthorized developments in at least two national newspapers.
The regularization covers subdivisions, change of use, extensions, architectural plans, structural works, billboards, LEDs, wall wraps, and informal settlements on private land,” Analo said.
He added that the County is also keen on resolving longstanding land ownership and planning disputes that have complicated development in various neighborhoods.
