What is Re-Survey in Tamil Nadu?

Re-survey (settlement) is the department's periodic re-measurement of a village — old survey numbers get renewed, FMBs are redrawn, and old boundary issues often surface.

Why villages are re-surveyed

Records age: new subdivisions, encroachments, and natural changes make the old maps drift from the ground. Re-survey re-measures the village and renews the FMB, village map, and survey numbers.

What changes for you

Your holding gets a new survey number (cross-referenced to the old one), a fresh FMB, and a renewed village map. Until records reconcile, old-number pattas and new-number FMBs can look mismatched.

Things to verify after re-survey

Confirm your new survey number and extent against the old records, check the FMB boundary, and reconcile with the patta at the taluk office. Discrepancies are common and best caught early.
