Government guideline rates for 8516 villages across 566 Sub-Registrar Offices in Tamil Nadu — 282289 streets in total. The guideline value is the floor at which a property must be registered: every sale-deed stamp-duty calculation is anchored to this rate or the actual sale consideration, whichever is higher.
The SROs with the largest urban street index — usually the deepest data and the most relevant for downtown / metro lookups.

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.
Two parallel rate systems exist for every SRO. Street rates (shown on this site) cover urban and peri-urban areas with named roads. Survey-number rates are applied for rural or recently-subdivided parcels without street addresses, and live on the TNREGINET portal under the survey-rate search. 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.

This is the guideline value — also called the guideline rate, or the circle rate in other states. It is the legal floor for property registration: every sale-deed stamp duty calculation is anchored to this rate or the actual sale consideration, whichever is higher.
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 calculated on the higher of the two — so the guideline value sets the floor, never the ceiling.
No. A sale deed cannot be registered at a price lower than the guideline value without an adjudication order from the District Registrar.
Even when the actual sale consideration is below the guideline rate, stamp duty is computed on the guideline value, not the lower agreed price.
Guideline values are revised periodically through gazetted notifications by the Tamil Nadu Registration Department. There is no fixed cadence — revisions happen when the state government issues a notification covering specific SROs or the entire state.
Always confirm the live rate on the TNREGINET portal before executing a sale deed.
Tamil Nadu charges 7% stamp duty plus 2% registration fee on the higher of the actual sale consideration or the area times the guideline rate.
Combined, that works out to 9% of the registered value, payable at sale-deed execution.

The Proquiro guideline-value lookup mirrors per-street rates across SROs and villages for fast comparison, but the live TNREGINET rate is what governs your stamp duty calculation on the day of registration.
