Who owns the plots next to yours, and is there a road

Drop a pin on your plot. You get every parcel that shares a boundary with it on the cadastral map, each with its survey number, the owner recorded in the revenue register, and whether it is private, government or road land, so access and boundary questions start from the record.

Sign in with your phone to run it. You see the price and approve it before anything runs.

What the answer holds
  • True boundary neighbours from the cadastral map, not everything within a radius
  • Owner names in Tamil and English from the revenue register
  • Road access: whether a neighbouring parcel is a road, and which one

What we need

The answer

From the register, with its date and source.

Nothing run yet. The answer appears here with everything this mini adds:

  • True boundary neighbours from the cadastral map, not everything within a radius
  • Owner names in Tamil and English from the revenue register
  • Road access: whether a neighbouring parcel is a road, and which one
The basics

Neighbours, briefly

An adjoining parcel is a survey parcel whose boundary meets your plot on the cadastral map. Its owner, and whether it is road land, are read from the revenue register.

Neighbour means
Shares a boundary

Only parcels whose edge meets your plot on the cadastral map, within 2 m to allow for drawing gaps. Not everything nearby.

Road access
From the register

A neighbour the register classes as a road or street is recorded evidence of access. Private paths and easements are not in the register.

Owner names
Register copy

Names are read from the revenue register copy for every adjoining parcel. For the live record of one, run the land record on its survey.

How it works

How to find the owners of adjoining land

  1. 1

    Pin your plot

    Tap inside the plot on the map, paste a Google Maps link, or use your location while you stand on it.

  2. 2

    Press Run

    The parcel under the pin is found first, then every parcel that shares its boundary.

  3. 3

    Read the list

    Each neighbour shows its survey number, recorded owner, land type and extent, with a note on road access.

Where it helps

When it helps with land

Is the land landlocked

See whether any parcel along the boundary is recorded as a road or street before you pay for land with no way in.

A boundary question

Know which survey numbers and which holders sit on each side before a surveyor or a neighbour is called.

Government land next door

A channel, a tank bed or other poramboke beside the plot can carry its own setback or restriction.

Worth knowing

A neighbour's name is what the register records, not proof of who owns it today, and no road in the register does not prove there is no access. Check the FMB sketch and walk the site before you rely on it.

Questions

Questions people ask

How do I find who owns the land next to mine?

Drop a pin on your plot above and press Run. Every parcel that shares a boundary with it is listed with its survey number and the owner the revenue register records.

Why is a neighbour marked government?

Its parcel is recorded as government or poramboke land: a road, a channel, a tank bed or other public land.

Does my land touch a road?

If a parcel that shares your boundary is classed as a road or street in the register, the answer says so. If none is, that suggests no recorded road frontage, but private paths and easements are not in the register, so check the FMB sketch and the site.

Are the owner names current?

They are from the register copy. For the live record of any one neighbour, run the land record mini on its survey number.

Why does a neighbour show no owner?

Some parcels have no entry in the register, and some are government land with no private holder. A blank is unknown, not a finding that the land is unowned.

What if my pin is not inside a parcel?

Then the nearest parcels are listed with their distance instead of boundary neighbours. Move the pin inside the plot for a true neighbour list.
