Frequently Asked Questions

The fertile red soil supports maize, beans, horticultural crops like tomatoes and onions, as well as drought-resistant crops such as sorghum and millet when properly managed.

Agricultural zoning allows for necessary farm structures like barns, greenhouses, and storage facilities. Permanent residential buildings may require special approval depending on plot size and location.

Conduct an official search at the Kajiado Lands Office to confirm ownership history, any encumbrances, and verify the survey plan matches the physical beacons on site.

Most plots can support boreholes with yields of 3-5m3/hour at depths of 80-120m. Some areas have access to seasonal rivers but rely primarily on groundwater for consistent supply.

Conversion requires approval from county planning authorities and may involve rezoning fees. This is increasingly difficult near core agricultural zones but possible in transitional areas.

Expect to pay annual land rates (~Ksh 5,000/acre), possible water abstraction fees if using boreholes, and maintenance costs for access roads shared with neighbors.
