Land Rating Handbook

Information contained in this document de-mystifies the process by which local authorities collect the tax on property known as "Rates". Following an attempt by the Nairobi City Council to significantly increase its revenue in 2002, it became clear the average plot owner in Nairobi has little information on the process by which property is rated and taxed.The book gives valuable information on how rating is done and affected.
