The checks
Karur holds both crystalline limestone and magnesite. A quarry or mineral lease is granted by the state and is not extinguished by a sale.
Every parcel is read against all 30 sources regardless; these are the ones this district triggers by where it is.
The offices
Which office holds your parcel decides which register your deed sits in, and how far back that register goes. Ordered by the number of villages each one serves.
Wards: Karur Town Ward 1 · Karur Town Ward 3
Wards: Karur Town Ward Ii
Wards: West Karur 1 St Ward · West Karur Town Ward Iii
Office and village mapping from TNREGINET, Tamil Nadu Registration Department, retrieved March 2026. Offices open and close; where a third party directory disagrees with the department, the department is the record.
Karur sits in the Trichy registration zone, which also covers Ariyalur, Perambalur, Pudukkottai and Tiruchirappalli. A zone is supervised by one Deputy Inspector General of Registration, so practice and record-keeping tend to be consistent across it.
TNREGINET returns encumbrance data from the point each office was digitised. Everything before that exists as bound volumes at the office itself, indexed by hand. A title chain that stops at the digitisation year is the visible half of one. More on what the records do not show.
Stamp duty and the registration fee come to 11 per cent of value, charged on whichever is higher, your price or the guideline value. Registering the sale deed also does not transfer the patta, which is a separate application at the Taluk office. What buying land in Tamil Nadu costs, in full.
