About Barur Sub-Registrar Office

The Barur Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is a key property registration authority in Dharmapuri district, operating under the Salem Registration Zone of the Tamil Nadu Registration Department. Property buyers, sellers, and landowners falling within Barur SRO limits must complete document registration here to ensure legal validity and enforceability of transactions.

Barur SRO has jurisdiction over 8 villages and covers a total of 6,336 survey numbers. This makes it an important office for agricultural lands, residential plots, and village properties in and around Barur. Before proceeding with registration, parties should verify the correct SRO based on the property’s village and survey number, as jurisdiction decides where the document must be registered.
