Find every plot recorded under a name

Type an owner name, add the Tamil spelling and a village or town if you have them, and get every parcel the land registers record under that name, each with its survey number, extent and patta number. Exact matches are kept apart from similar spellings, so namesakes are not added together.

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

The basics

How the name search works

The pattadar is the holder a patta names in the revenue record. One patta number can list several survey numbers held by the same pattadar.

Registers
Village and town

The village revenue A-register and the town survey register are searched together, in English and in Tamil.

Exact first
Then similar

The name is matched as written first. Spelling-similar matches are shown only when no holder carries it exactly, and they are labelled.

Towns
Live register too

Scoped to a town, the government town register's own name search is run as well. It matches Tamil names, so give the Tamil spelling.

How it works

How to search land by owner name

  1. 1

    Type the name

    A partial name matches. Add initials to narrow a common name.

  2. 2

    Add Tamil and a place

    The Tamil spelling reaches holders recorded only in Tamil. A village or town keeps the list to the right place.

  3. 3

    Read the matches

    Each parcel with its survey number, extent and patta number, exact and similar matches in separate lists.

Where it helps

When it helps with land

Checking a seller

See what else is recorded under the seller's name, and whether the land on offer is among it.

Family settlements

List what a parent or grandparent holds before a partition or a legal heir process.

Lost records

A family knows the name and the village but not the survey number. The search gives the numbers to pull the records.

Worth knowing

A name match is not proof of identity or of title: the same name belongs to many people. Confirm each parcel in the land record and the deeds, and the person by their documents.

Questions

Questions people ask

Can I find land by the owner's name in Tamil Nadu?

Yes. Type the name above, add the Tamil spelling and a village or town if you know them, and press Run. Every parcel the land registers record under that name is listed with its survey and patta number.

What is the difference between exact and similar matches?

Exact matches carry the name as you wrote it. Similar matches are spelling hits that may be other people, and they are only shown when no exact match exists. Never add the two together.

Why give the name in Tamil?

The town register records many holders in Tamil only, and the live town register search matches Tamil names. Without it those holders can be missed.

Common names return too much.

Add initials or the Tamil form, and narrow the search to one village or town.

Is every register searched live?

The town register is searched live when you scope to a town. Village land is searched in our copy of the A-register, not live, so check any parcel that matters in the land record.

Does a match prove the land belongs to that person?

No. It shows what the register records against a name. Identity and title are proven by documents, not by a spelling.

Why is it charged?

The name is searched across both registers and, for a town, the live government register as well.
