About Keezhur Sub-Registrar Office

Keezhur Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is an important property registration office serving parts of Thoothukkudi district under the administrative Thirunelveli zone in Tamil Nadu. For buyers, sellers, and families handling inherited properties, the Keezhur SRO is the local authority where property documents are registered and preserved as legal records.

This SRO has jurisdiction over 10 villages and covers a substantial land record base of 5,390 survey numbers. If your property falls within these villages and survey numbers, your sale deed, gift deed, partition deed, lease deed, or other registrable documents are typically executed and registered through Keezhur SRO. Knowing the correct SRO jurisdiction helps avoid delays, rework, and appointment issues during registration.

Documents Required for Registration

Carrying complete documentation reduces objections and speeds up scanning and verification. Keep original documents plus photocopies as required.
