About Boothapandi Sub-Registrar Office

Boothapandi Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is a key property registration office serving parts of Kanniyakumari district under the administrative Thirunelveli zone. It supports buyers, sellers, and families completing legal documentation for land and building transactions, ensuring that property transfers are recorded as per Tamil Nadu Registration Department norms.

This SRO has jurisdiction over 13 villages and covers a large land records base of 7,813 survey numbers. For anyone purchasing a plot, house, agricultural land, or transferring ownership through gift/partition, the Boothapandi SRO is the designated place to complete registration, pay applicable duties, and obtain legally valid registered documents. Before visiting, it is advisable to cross-check the survey number, village name, and document type to avoid delays during scrutiny and scanning.

Depending on the transaction, additional documents may be asked (e.g., parent document references, layout approvals, power of attorney, legal heir documents). Confirm requirements for your document type before execution.
