The answer
From the register, with its date and source.
Nothing run yet. The answer appears here with everything this mini adds:
- The revision date the rate was published, so you can quote it
- The year-by-year trend for a town street, where the register keeps one
- For a village survey, the whole plot at this rate: the extent in the revenue register times the rate
- Stamp duty and registration fee on the guideline amount of this parcel
- The rate per cent, per ground and per acre as well as per square foot
Guideline values, briefly
The guideline value is the minimum value the Tamil Nadu Registration Department fixes for each street and survey number. Stamp duty and registration fee are charged on it whenever it is higher than the price written in the deed.
- Rates in force
- From 1 July 2024
Every answer carries the revision date it comes from, because a rate without its date cannot be quoted.
- Earlier revisions
- 2002 to 2023
The register also holds the revisions of 2023, 2017, 2012, 2007, 2003 and 2002, so the trend of a street or village can be read over two decades.
- Duty on a sale
- 7% + 2%
A sale deed pays 7% stamp duty and 2% registration fee on the guideline value or the price, whichever is higher.

Guideline value, composite value and the price
Four figures you will hear for the same property, and what each one is for.
| Guideline value | Composite value | Price in the deed | Asking price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it values | Land, by street or by survey | A built flat or building, land share and construction together | This one sale | The property, as the seller hopes |
| Set by | The Registration Department | The Registration Department | Buyer and seller | The seller or the broker |
| Used for | The floor for duty on land | The floor for duty on a flat | Duty, when it is higher than the guideline value | Negotiation only |
When it helps with land
Budget the registration
Duty is charged on the higher of the price and the guideline value, so the rate tells you the least you will pay at the Sub-Registrar office.
Read a price quote
Market prices usually sit above the guideline value. A quote far below it is worth a second look at which parcel is being sold.
Trace a street over time
The trend shows how the rate on the same street or village moved between revisions.
A guideline value is the rate the registrar charges duty on, not what the land will sell for and not proof of who owns it. Check the owner in the revenue records and real sale prices nearby before you agree a price.
Questions people ask
What is the guideline value of land in Tamil Nadu?
It is the minimum value the Registration Department fixes for every street and survey number. Stamp duty and registration fee on a deed are charged on the guideline value or the price in the deed, whichever is higher.
How do I check the guideline value online?
Drop a pin on the land above, paste a Google Maps link or use your location, and press Run. You do not need to know the zone, the sub-registrar office or the village first: the parcel under the pin is found for you.
Is the guideline value the same as the market value?
No. The guideline value is the floor the Registration Department charges duty on. Market prices in Tamil Nadu usually sit above it, sometimes well above. Use the Price Map for real registered sale prices near a plot.
Why does my city plot show a street rate rather than a survey rate?
Inside corporation and municipal limits the register is kept by street, not by survey number. The mini returns the rate of the street the parcel sits on and names the street.
When was the guideline value last revised?
The rates in force apply from 1 July 2024, and every answer carries the revision date of the rate it quotes. Earlier revisions took effect on 1 April 2023, 9 June 2017, 1 April 2012, 1 August 2007, 1 April 2003 and 1 April 2002.
How much stamp duty is paid on the guideline value?
On a sale deed, 7% stamp duty and 2% registration fee, 9% in all, on the guideline value or the price, whichever is higher. The answer works this out for the parcel, and the stamp duty mini covers every other deed type.
Can I get the rate for a survey number instead of a pin?
Yes. The guideline value by survey number mini takes the district, taluk, village and survey number instead of a pin. Here, the mini shows the survey number it resolved from the pin so you can confirm it is the right plot.
Does this cost anything?
No. The rate, the trend and the duty estimate are free.
