• Wet Land (Nanjai): This category includes irrigated agricultural land that has an assured water source, making it highly sought after for farming.
• Dry Land (Punjai): Characterized as rain-fed agricultural land, this type is more susceptible to weather conditions, impacting its valuation.
• Garden Land: These lands are used for orchards and plantation crops, often fetching higher values due to their potential for fruit production.
• Commercial: Designated for business activities, commercial land holds significant value due to its potential for generating income.
• Residential: This category is crucial for housing and dwellings, with values influenced by proximity to amenities and infrastructure.
• Industrial: Land earmarked for manufacturing and industrial use, typically valued higher due to the development prospects it offers.

Understanding Survey Numbers

The survey number system in Tamil Nadu villages is vital for property identification:

• Assignment: Survey numbers are assigned to parcels of land to maintain records and streamline transactions.
• Main Surveys vs. Subdivisions: Each survey can have subdivisions (e.g., 1/1, 1/2), indicating portions of a larger plot.
• Reading Patta: To find your survey number, refer to the patta or sale deed, where it is typically listed.
• Verifying Boundaries: The Field Measurement Book (FMB) is the official document to verify survey boundaries.

1. Identify your survey number: Look for it on your patta or sale deed.
