About Aruppukkottai Sub-Registrar Office

The Aruppukkottai Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is the official property registration authority for parts of Virudhunagar district, functioning under the Ramanathapuram zone of the Registration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu. If you are buying, selling, gifting, leasing, or partitioning property in and around Aruppukkottai, this SRO is where your document registration is completed and legally recorded.

This SRO has jurisdiction over 24 villages and covers approximately 11,780 survey numbers. These survey numbers are crucial for identifying land parcels, verifying guideline value, and ensuring the document is registered under the correct territorial limits. Before proceeding, property buyers and sellers should confirm that the property’s survey number and village fall under Aruppukkottai SRO to avoid delays or rejection during submission.
