Kisumu County Government has announced plans to introduce a new property rating system, inviting public input before implementing the proposed framework. The county is considering four forms of property rating: annual rental value rating, area rating, unimproved site value rating, and site value rating combined with improvement rating.
Public participation meetings will be held across the county between November 18 and December 7, 2026, to gather comments, objections, and recommendations. Submissions can be made through various channels, including sub-county administration offices, the county's official email address, and its website. The proposed rating framework and explanatory documents will be available for inspection at several locations.
The county emphasizes that no rating system will be adopted before the statutory notice period expires and after considering public input.
