Understanding land records is essential when dealing with real estate and property-related transactions in Tamil Nadu. One such important document in urban land management is the TSLR Sketch. This article provides a detailed overview of the TSLR Sketch, including its definition, purpose, contents, legal relevance, how to obtain it, and more.
What is a TSLR Sketch?
A TSLR Sketch, or Town Survey Land Register Sketch, is a graphical representation of a land plot as recorded in the urban land survey records maintained by the Tamil Nadu Revenue Department. It depicts the boundaries, measurements, and location of a property within a particular town survey number or subdivision.
What is the Purpose of a TSLR Sketch?
The TSLR Sketch serves several important purposes:
- Visual representation of land plots for legal, planning, and civic purposes.
- Verification of Boundaries before property transactions, construction, or land development
- Support for Building Plan Approvals from municipal or planning authorities.
- In case of land disputes or boundary issues, the sketch can serve as a visual reference to help resolve the conflict.
- Linking to Legal Records such as the TSLR extract, patta, or sale deed.
- It is accepted as supporting evidence in civil disputes.
- Municipalities and planning bodies require it for building permit approvals.
- It helps prevent encroachments and boundary disputes.
- Applying for building plan sanction or approval.
- Selling or buying urban property.
- Fixing boundaries during fencing or construction.
- Filing a case involving land encroachment or boundary dispute.
What Information does a TSLR Sketch Contain?
A TSLR Sketch includes the following key components:
- Survey Number and Subdivision Number: Unique ID’s of the land plot.
- Land Area: Size of land plot is recorded(e.g: Length, Breadth and total extent of the property)
- Boundary Details: Representation of adjacent properties or landmarks.
- Plot Orientation: Direction (north, south, etc.) and geographical position.
- Zone Information: Ward number, block, or zone ids
The sketch may also include color codes or labels to identify government lands, roads, or reserved areas
How is a TSLR Sketch Different from a Field Measurement Sketch?

FMB sketch: Used to record precise land dimensions and boundaries on-site and to ensure accuracy in construction and provide a reference for builders and architects
