G.O.Ms. No.87, Municipal Administration and Water Supply [MA.5-(1)], 11th March 2026

What this gazette notification does

The Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department issued G.O.Ms. No.87, Municipal Administration and Water Supply [MA.5-(1)], dated 11th March 2026. It withdraws certain lands from the control of Dharapuram Municipal Council, Dharapuram Taluk, Tiruppur District. The heading states that the withdrawal from land classification is for issuing free house site patta under the Special Regularisation Scheme under the Tamil Nadu Urban Local Bodies Act, 1998.

The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the notification using powers under the Tamil Nadu Urban Local Bodies Act, 1998. The withdrawal takes effect from the date of publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.

Who it affects

This matters to people in and around the listed survey and town survey numbers within Dharapuram Municipal Council limits, especially if they are:

• occupants seeking free house site patta under the Special Regularisation Scheme,
• owners or buyers checking whether a site falls in the notified land parcels,
• surveyors, document writers and property lawyers verifying municipal control over these lands.

If your land is not one of the listed parcels, this notification does not say anything about it.

Lands covered

The schedule covers government poramboke lands in Dharapuram Municipal Council, in Tiruppur District and Dharapuram Taluk. The listed localities include:

• Nanjiyampalayam,
• Mettupalayam,
• Chitaravuthanpalayam,
• Dharapuram South.

The schedule identifies each parcel by survey number or town survey number, sub-divisions, classification, total extent, extent withdrawn, and boundary survey numbers on all four sides.

Examples of the listed classifications and locations include:

• Valluvar Street,
• Kalam,
• Mettupalayam Road,
• Kurumbar Veethi,
• Mettupalayam Pathai,
• Thar Road,
• Mayanam,
• Palaya Palani Road.

Key points for property checking

• The land classification shown in the schedule is government poramboke.
• The notification withdraws only the extent specifically mentioned for each parcel.
• The schedule says the total extent may be a little more or less.
• Boundaries are given by adjoining ward, block and town survey numbers.
• The withdrawal is from the control of Dharapuram Municipal Council.

Practical takeaway

For a buyer or owner, the main question is whether the property matches any survey number, sub-division, ward, block or boundary listed in the schedule. If it does, this gazette notification may affect how that land is handled for free house site patta under the Special Regularisation Scheme.
