An Application for Reparcellation (Form LRA 28) is an official document used in Kenya to reorganize or reconfigure multiple land parcels belonging to different proprietors into new parcel arrangements. This jurisdiction-specific form is prescribed under the Land Registration Act and the Land Registration (General) Regulations, 2017, specifically Rule 44(1). It enables landowners to redistribute land boundaries and create new parcel configurations through mutual agreement, typically for development, planning, or land consolidation purposes.
This form is intended for multiple registered property owners, developers, neighbors, estate planners, land consolidation participants, trustees, corporate entities, and community groups who wish to reorganize their land holdings through reparcellation. Unlike combination (which merges parcels of the same owner) or subdivision (which divides one owner's land), reparcellation involves exchanging or redistributing land between different proprietors to create more practical or efficient parcel layouts, facilitate joint development projects, improve access, or implement planning schemes.
The application requires title numbers of all affected parcels, date of application, and details of all applicants including full names and identification or company registration numbers. The Schedule of Reparcellation must detail each parcel involved, including cadastral plan numbers, parcel numbers, approximate area, and the name of each proprietor. All parties must attach certified true copies of supporting documents such as cadastral maps, approved scheme plans, and consent documents.
Each applicant must execute the form with a colored photograph, identification number, and PIN number, signing before a certifying officer who provides a Certificate of Verification confirming voluntary execution and understanding of the transaction. Once all parties have signed and the application is processed by the Land Registry, the reparcellation is registered, creating new title arrangements that reflect the agreed redistribution within Kenya's land registration system.
