Kibanja Registration

Buganda Land Board recognizes the existing relationship between the landlord and the tenant (Kibanja Holder). Registration
therefore, it ensures that this relationship is regularized, harmonized, and beneficial to all parties.

Eligibility
Any person (citizen or non-citizen) is eligible to apply for registration.
All areas covered by our jurisdiction apart from those that have been reserved by Buganda Kingdom or have restrictions imposed upon them by government controlling authorities such as NEMA are eligible for registration.

Reserves
Reserved land includes all that land identified by the Buganda Cabinet as land comprising
of cultural sites, royal palaces as well as land reserved for planned future use and settlements.
Note: Applications on reserved land are not entertained. However, for land reserved for
development, applications are subjected
to national, district, and local physical development plans as approved by the relevant authorities.
