Rank: Hello Joined: 10/12/2011 Posts: 1		I recently visited the Mavoko Town Council offices and was asked to pay land rates for the plots I have at Katani. The plots have clean title deeds for free hold. I would like some advice because I called the council last week and was told that they are charging for rates. I went there last Monday the tenth and paid for the last year and this year's rates. Someone told me that they have been to Machakos Land Office and they were told that the plots are on free hold and the Mavoko County Council should not ask for payment of rates. • Is this common practice? • Is it legal for them to ask for money? I will appreciate some advice.

This's a lease from the government & as you are a tenant, you need to pay for it eg on title indicated Kshs.1,000 p.a, etc. -Land Rates: Paid to the councils under which the property falls, may it be freehold or leasehold. There4, go to Mavoko for Katani & have the rates calculated to pay
