Understanding Survey Numbers

In Tamil Nadu, the survey number system is crucial for property identification. Here’s how it works:

• Assignment: Survey numbers are assigned based on land demarcation, reflecting each plot's unique identity.
• Main Survey vs Subdivisions: Main survey numbers (e.g., 1) can have subdivisions (e.g., 1/1, 1/2) that denote different portions of the same plot.
• Reading Your Patta: To find your survey number, refer to your patta or sale deed, where it is explicitly mentioned.
• Verifying Boundaries: To confirm survey boundaries, consult the Field Measurement Book (FMB) available at local revenue offices.

1. Identify your survey number from your patta or sale deed.

3. Locate the value in the guideline value table published for Kodikottai.
4. Use the per square foot value for your calculations.
