Guide to the procedure for amalgamation of plots in Kenya

Amalgamation involves the combination of two or more pieces of land that are under separate titles into one piece of land with only one title. Amalgamation renders the title deeds for the various sub-units null and
void by merging them into one new title deed.

Amalgamation is the opposite of
subdivision which is the process of dividing one piece of land to several
plots. In case you missed it, you can read more about the process
of subdividing land to numerous plots.

The
process of amalgamation of land involves the drafting of an amalgamation/subdivision plan/scheme
showing the plots to be combined. The investor, through a registered physical
planner makes an application to the County Government through filling in PPA 1
form attaching the plan/scheme and a planning brief explaining why the
amalgamation or subdivision is in line with the policy. The requisite fee will
be paid to the County government and the receipt annexed to the planning Brief
presented to the County Government.
