Comparison / built land by village
What a 1,000 square metre plot costs to register
A 1,000 square metre plot is about a quarter of an acre and is the size most building plots come in. This page has the government charge on one in every village, and it is honest about how many villages have no published rate for building land at all.
Two different rates can apply. Converted land, meaning farmland that has been legally changed to building use, has its own rate. The old built-up core of the village has another. Both are priced by the square metre, and the charge is the same 5.9 per cent of whichever applies.

01The charge on a quarter acre plot
A 1,000 square metre plot is roughly a quarter of an acre and is the size most building plots are sold in. Here is what registering one costs in every village, split between land that has been converted for building and the old village core.

02Why most of the first column is empty
Only 6 of the twenty two villages carry a rate for converted building land at all. The other 16 have a page in the built-land book that prints rates for the old village core and leaves the converted land table blank, or has no page in that book at all.
That is not an oversight in this record and it is not a statement that no building land exists in those villages. It means the 2011 rate book had no converted land to price there, which is what you would expect of a farming district before the region was built. Where the table is blank the honest answer is that there is no published rate, and no neighbour's rate has been borrowed to fill it.
Where a village shows no converted land rate, the non-agricultural table on that village's page in the source book is blank. Where it shows neither, no page exists for the village anywhere in the built-land volume. Both cases are printed as they stand.
03The village core is priced separately
21 of the villages carry a rate for the gamtal, which is the old built-up core of the village, the houses and lanes rather than the fields around them. It is priced by the square metre like converted land, and it is usually cheaper.
What the core rate covers and how it differs is on the village core page. The comparison between farmland and converted land, which is the one most buyers actually need, is on its own page.
The words on this page, in plain English
- Non-agricultural land, NA land
- Farmland that has been legally converted to building use by an order under section 65 of the Gujarat Land Revenue Code. Until that order exists the land is still farmland in law, whatever is standing on it.
- Gamtal
- The old built-up core of a village, the houses and lanes rather than the fields around them. It carries its own rate in the jantri.
- Jantri
- The government's own price list for land. It is printed village by village and it sets the value the tax is charged on, whatever price the buyer and seller agree between themselves.
- Rate band
- One printed line in the jantri: a class of land, a road situation and one rate. A village usually has several, and which one applies depends on where the plot sits.
