Digitize Some of the County's Most Important Assets

A substantial proportion of landholders across Kenya do not hold formal title documents for the land they occupy. County land registries are simultaneously digitizing historical paper records while processing new transactions — a dual-track operational challenge that manual systems cannot sustain without accumulating errors, backlogs, and the dispute caseloads that follow from them.

Land disputes are among the highest-volume case types in county administration. Without digital case tracking, dispute resolution becomes opaque: parties cannot verify the current status of their case, and county assembly oversight committees cannot review resolution rates or identify systemic issues without manual extraction from physical registers — a compliance gap that the Access to Information Act 2016 makes legally visible.

Development control — building permits, physical planning application fees, subdivision charges — is a revenue-generating function that many counties under-collect because the approval process is manual and fee collection is disconnected from ICRMS-compliant digital receipting. ICRMS Regulations 2025 extend the digital receipting requirement to planning approval fee collection at the counter and in the field.

CountyERP Land Management System connects land registry, rates billing, dispute tracking, and development control workflows into one auditable platform — giving the Lands, Housing & Planning department the single source of truth for asset records, revenue performance, and compliance obligations that disconnected manual systems cannot provide to an increasingly demanding oversight environment.
