About Kadathur Sub-Registrar Office

Kadathur Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is the official property registration authority serving parts of Dharmapuri district under the Salem Zone of the Registration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu. This SRO plays a key role in legally recording property transactions such as sales, gifts, partitions, leases, and wills, ensuring clear ownership and enforceable rights.

Kadathur SRO has jurisdiction over 19 villages and covers approximately 10,455 survey numbers. For buyers and sellers, this means the office maintains vital land and document records relevant to a large set of properties in and around Kadathur. Before proceeding with a transaction, it is advisable to confirm your property’s village and survey number fall under Kadathur SRO to avoid delays and re-submission.

Documents Required for Registration

Carry original documents along with required photocopies. Missing paperwork is one of the most common reasons for registration postponement.

• Sale deed / title document (drafted as per the transaction type: sale, gift, partition, etc.)
• ID proofs of buyer and seller: Aadhaar, PAN (and any additional address proof if asked)
• Photographs of buyer and seller (passport size, as required)
• Encumbrance Certificate (EC) for the relevant period to verify liens/charges
• Patta copy (and any related revenue records, if applicable)
• Property tax receipts (latest paid receipt, especially for houses/plots in local bodies)
• Previous sale deeds / chain of title to establish ownership continuity

Depending on the property type, the SRO may also ask for additional supporting records (for example, layout approvals, building plan approvals, or NOCs). Verify requirements in advance when preparing the document set.
