Your Guide to Property Registration in Tamil Nadu

Guideline value is the minimum value set by the Tamil Nadu government for land and property transactions. It's used to calculate stamp duty and registration fees. The value is determined based on location, zone, and classification of the property.

Stamp duty in Tamil Nadu is 7% of the property value for sale deeds, with 2% registration fee. The total charges are 9% of the guideline value or market value, whichever is higher. Some categories like gift deeds and partitions have different rates.

A Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is the local registration authority where property documents are registered. Each SRO has jurisdiction over specific villages and areas. You must register your property at the SRO that covers your property's location.

Composite value is the guideline rate per square foot for apartments and flats. It includes both land and construction value. This rate is used instead of separate land guideline value for apartment registrations.
