Kerala Government Starts Review to Fix Errors in Land Fair Value Rates

The Kerala government has launched steps to fix wrong property valuation rates across the state. Revenue Minister A.P. Anilkumar shared this update in the Assembly on Thursday, October 29, 2026.

Action Plan

The administration received many complaints from citizens about incorrect property pricing. Officials have instructed District Collectors to look into these grievances and correct mistakes after receiving petitions from property owners. To finish the review quickly in places where land was priced too high or too low, the state added this task to its 100-day action plan.

Next Steps

Authorities have already started spotting valuation errors from rates set in the year 2010. Officials have gathered information on poorly priced zones and begun updating numbers across the state. Property owners facing unfair rates can file petitions directly with their local District Collector, who acts as the authority to review and fix these pricing errors.

Context

Land fair value is the baseline price set by the government for property registration and calculating official fees. When these baseline rates do not match actual market conditions, owners often face heavy financial burdens during transactions. Reviewing old valuation lists helps align government records with ground realities.
