What property buyers should note
A buyer or owner of coastal property in Karnataka may need to refer to the approved Coastal Zone Management Plan and the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, 2011. The approval letter alone does not show how any individual parcel is classified or what development is permitted on it.
