How it works

How a guideline value is found

The government files every property in Salem under a simple hierarchy. We do the digging, you just type your street.

1
Zone
Salem registration zone
2
Sub-registrar office
One of 25 offices across Salem district
3
Village / Ward
Your revenue village, or a numbered city ward (A to M)
4
Street / Survey no.
The exact street, or a survey number for land
Guideline value
per sq.ft, or per acre for farmland

You don't need to know your zone, office or ward, that's the registrar's jargon. Just type your street and we resolve the rest.

Reading the record

What the land classification means

Every rate carries a use, a grade and a type. Here is how to read it.

Use
  • Commercial shops, offices, frontage
  • Residential homes
  • Mixed homes and shops
  • Industrial factories, units
  • Agricultural farmland (Dry / Wet / Garden)
  • Government public or temple land
Grade (high to low value)
  • Special prime, highest value
  • Class I, then II, then III, decreasing value
Type (I, II, III)
  • A sub-category the government attaches to specific streets within a grade. The number does not reliably rank value, so always go by the actual rate shown, not the type.
Example: "Commercial Special Type II" means commercial use, top-tier (Special) grade, sub-category 2. The value is whatever is listed for that exact street.
Good to know

Guideline value is not the market price

Guideline value

The government's minimum value for registration, fixed per street or survey number. It sets the floor for stamp duty and registration fees.

Market price

What a buyer actually pays. In most of Salem it sits above the guideline value, and on prime commercial roads it can be well above.

You pay 7% stamp duty and 4% registration on whichever is higher, the guideline value or your actual sale value. Knowing the guideline value tells you the floor, not the ceiling.

Estimate

Stamp duty and registration cost

Take the rate from your search above, add your area, and we will estimate the registration cost.

Estimate only. Tamil Nadu charges 7% stamp duty + 4% registration fee on the higher of the guideline value or the actual sale value. Final figures depend on the deed. We will walk you through it.

Salem guideline value: common questions

What is the guideline value in Salem?
Guideline value (also called guideline rate or government value) is the minimum value the Tamil Nadu government sets for a property, used to calculate stamp duty and registration fees. It is fixed per street or survey number by the Registration Department and published on TNREGINET. It is not the market price; market prices in Salem are usually higher.
How do I find the guideline value of my street?
Type your street or area name in the search above. We show the official TNREGINET figure for that street, its land classification, the sub-registrar office, and the date it took effect. If your land is identified by a survey number instead, switch to the Survey number tab.
Is the guideline value the same as the market price?
No. Guideline value is the government's minimum registration value. The actual market price in Salem is usually higher, sometimes much higher on prime roads. You pay stamp duty and registration on whichever is higher, the guideline value or the actual sale value.
How much is stamp duty and registration in Tamil Nadu?
Tamil Nadu charges 7% stamp duty plus 4% registration fee, about 11% of the value in total. Use the estimator on this page: enter the guideline rate and your area to see an approximate figure.
Why does one street have more than one guideline value?
A long street can be split into blocks, and each block can carry a different rate depending on its stretch and classification. That is correct, not an error. When a street has more than one rate, we list every block so you can match the right one.
How current is this data?
These figures are taken directly from TNREGINET, the official Tamil Nadu Registration Department portal, and refreshed every month. Always cross-check the final figure on TNREGINET before you register, since the government can revise rates.
