Land Area Converter: 7 Easy Steps to Convert Units
land area converter: This guide shows you how to use a land area converter for Tamil Nadu land, in simple English. A converter turns one unit into another, so you can compare a patta, a sale deed, and a site advertisement without guessing.

This page is not a government website. It is an information guide only. The converter on this site is a free tool for checking units, and it does not change your official land record.
Land Area Converter – What It Does
A land area converter takes a number in one unit and shows the same area in other units. For example, if your patta says the extent in cents, the tool can show it in square feet as well. That makes it easier to check whether the area in an advertisement matches the area in your record.
The tool only converts numbers. It does not measure your land, and it does not prove ownership. For the official extent, always check the patta itself. If the converted figure and the patta disagree, trust the patta and ask the village office about the difference.
7 Steps to Use the Land Area Converter
- Open our Land Area Converter page.
- Find the extent on your patta or sale deed, and note the unit written beside it.
- Type the number into the converter, exactly as it appears in the record.
- Select the unit your record uses, such as acre, cent, or square feet.
- Choose the unit you want to see, for example square feet or square metres.
- Read the converted result and compare it with the figure in your deed.
- Note the result down, and repeat the check if you change any digit.
Take care with decimals. A small typing error, such as entering 10 cents instead of 1.0 cent, gives a very different result. If the answer looks far too large or far too small, re-check the number and the unit before you rely on it.
Units You Will Meet in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu records commonly use acres and cents for agricultural land, and square feet for house plots. One acre equals 100 cents, and one cent equals 435.6 square feet. In towns, you may also see the ground unit, and in official forms you may see hectares and square metres.
Do not mix units in one calculation. Convert every figure to the same unit first, and only then compare or add areas. If a deed gives the extent in more than one unit, check that the figures agree after conversion; if they do not, ask for a correction before you sign anything.
Common Conversion Mistakes
The most common mistake is converting the wrong figure. Some people convert the total extent of a survey number when they own only a sub-division of it. Always convert your own share, as shown in the patta, not the whole survey number.
Another mistake is rounding too early. Keep the full figure while you convert, and round only at the end, if you must. Rounding at each step can shift the result enough to cause a dispute with a buyer or a neighbour.
After converting, check the result against your patta and your land map. For the map, see our FMB Sketch Tamil guide. For the official record itself, start at eservices.tn.gov.in.
FAQ – Land Area Converter
1. Is the land area converter free to use? Yes, the converter on this site is free, and you do not need to sign up to convert a number.
2. Does a converted figure change my patta? No, conversion only changes the unit of a number. Only the revenue department can change the extent recorded in a patta.
3. What if the converted area does not match my deed? Re-check the number and the unit first. If they are correct and the figures still disagree, take both documents to the village office and ask which figure is recorded officially.
