Answers to the most common questions about land surveys, title processes and land ownership in Kenya.

Ask a Surveyor →
How do I subdivide land in Kenya?+
The landowner first conducts an Official Title Deed Search at the local land registry (requires national ID, KRA PIN, and title deed number). Next, a Registry Index Map (RIM) is obtained from Survey of Kenya. Our surveyor then carries out the physical boundary survey, prepares mutation forms and submits to the land registry for approval and new title issuance.
What is a Registry Index Map (RIM)?+
A Registry Index Map is a large-area map maintained by the Survey of Kenya that shows all registered land parcels in a geographic area. It is a mandatory document when applying for subdivision, amalgamation or any cadastral survey, as it establishes the spatial context of the land parcel in question.
What documents do I need for a title survey?+
You will need a copy of your National ID, your KRA PIN certificate, and either the original title deed or its registered number. For corporate clients, we also require the certificate of incorporation and board resolution authorizing the survey. Our team will guide you through any additional requirements based on your specific parcel.
How long does a land survey take in Kenya?+
Timelines vary by survey type. A straightforward boundary survey may take 2–5 working days. Subdivision surveys involving registry approvals typically take 4–8 weeks, depending on land registry processing times. We provide realistic timelines after reviewing your specific case and prioritize timely delivery.
What is the difference between a mutation and a subdivision survey?+
A mutation survey is the process of physically altering the registry by subdividing, amalgamating or changing the shape of a land parcel — it results in new parcel numbers being registered. Subdivision is the specific action of splitting one parcel into two or more smaller parcels, each receiving its own title deed. All mutations in Kenya must be approved by the Director of Surveys.
