What the declaration does
Government Order (Ms.) Number 257 of the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(2)] Department, dated 6 December 2022, specifies 169 revenue villages in Krishnagiri District as the Hosur Urban Planning Area. The declaration was made under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971, following an amendment that came into force on 14 September 2022.
The declaration covers a total area of 1,071.79 square kilometres. It places the listed revenue villages within a formally specified urban planning area.

The Hosur Urban Planning Area declaration is relevant to buyers, owners, developers and property professionals dealing with land in the listed villages.
