About Kommadikottai Sub-Registrar Office

Kommadikottai Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is a key property registration office serving parts of Thoothukkudi district under the Thirunelveli zone in Tamil Nadu. This SRO plays an important role for buyers, sellers, and landowners who need legally valid registration of property documents such as sale deeds, gifts, partitions, leases, and wills.

The Kommadikottai SRO has jurisdiction over 8 villages and covers a substantial land record base with 7,778 total survey numbers. If your property falls within these villages/survey numbers, registrations and related services (like EC and certified copies) are typically handled here.
