Before you buy agricultural land in Kithimani, verify boundaries with a licensed surveyor. The Survey Act (Cap 299) requires official surveys to confirm plot dimensions and prevent disputes. Here are the key survey types you may need.

Secure Your Land Purchase

A proper land survey confirms exact boundaries, size, and ensures no encroachment. In Kithimani's semi-arid terrain, accurate surveys are essential to avoid costly disputes over agricultural plots.

📐 Types of Land Surveys

Perimeter Survey

Marks the exact boundaries of a plot using beacons and GPS coordinates. Produces a survey plan (F/R) registered with the Survey of Kenya.

Topographical Survey

Maps elevation, slopes, drainage patterns, and existing features like roads or watercourses. Critical for agricultural land to plan irrigation and erosion control.

Mutation Survey

Subdivides or consolidates land parcels. Required when splitting a larger plot into smaller agricultural holdings or merging adjacent plots.

Beacon Survey

Places or replaces physical boundary markers (beacons) at plot corners. Often done after a perimeter survey to permanently mark boundaries.
