Tamil Nadu guideline value rates by Sub-Registrar Office

Proquiro indexes guideline values across 595 Sub-Registrar Offices and 20,761 registration villages. 8,516 villages carry street-level rates across 2,82,289 streets, ranging ₹30–₹27,500/sqft ; the rest are published by survey number. The registrar charges 7% stamp duty + 2% registration fee on the higher of the guideline value or your actual sale price. The table below shows the per-square-foot range for the highest-coverage offices — open any office for street-by-street rates.

What guideline value actually means

The Tamil Nadu Registration Department publishes a per-square-foot rate for every street in the state — set per (Sub-Registrar Office, registration village, street) combination. This is the guideline value (also called guideline rate or circle rate in other states). It serves as the legal floor for property registration: when you execute a sale deed, stamp duty and registration fee are computed on the higher of the actual sale consideration or the area times the guideline rate. A buyer cannot register a sale below the guideline value without an adjudication order.

Guideline value vs market value in Tamil Nadu

Guideline value is the government-published minimum rate at which a property can be legally registered; market value is what buyers and sellers actually transact at, which is often higher. Stamp duty and registration fees are charged on the higher of the two — so the guideline value sets the floor, never the ceiling. A sale deed cannot be registered below the guideline value without an adjudication order from the District Registrar.

How rates are structured

Two parallel rate systems exist for every SRO, and both are covered here. Street rates cover urban and peri-urban areas with named roads — villages with street rates show the per-sqft table directly. Survey-number rates apply to rural or recently-subdivided parcels without street addresses — those villages link to their survey-number rates. Both rate systems are anchored to the same village registry, but the values can diverge — a single survey number bordering an unnamed village road may have a survey rate significantly different from the closest street's rate.

How to use these pages

1. Pick the right SRO. The SRO is decided by the village your property sits in. If you don't know your SRO, the Tamil Nadu SRO directory has the full village-to-SRO map.
2. Open your village page. You'll see every street under that village with its current per-sqft rate and classification.
3. Multiply rate × area. Then apply the Tamil Nadu stamp duty rates (7% stamp duty + 2% registration fee) to estimate the registration cost.
4. Verify on TNREGINET before signing. Rates change periodically through gazetted notifications — always confirm the live rate on the official portal before executing a sale deed.
