About Chettikulam Sub-Registrar Office

Chettikulam Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is an important property registration jurisdiction in Perambalur district, functioning under the Trichy Zone of the Registration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu. This SRO supports buyers, sellers, and landowners by handling document registration and related services for properties located in and around Chettikulam.

The Chettikulam SRO has administrative coverage over 22 villages and manages land record references for approximately 11,750 survey numbers. For anyone purchasing agricultural land, house sites, plots, or built-up properties within these villages, registration typically falls under this SRO’s jurisdiction.
