Goa Guideline Value

Guideline Value or Fair Value is the minimum price fixed by the Government of Goa, India for registering lands and properties in Goa. Anyone who wants to register their land has to do it according to the guideline value (Buy or Sell or Donate a particular land or property). There is no option to register any land below the fair value. These guideline values are revised periodically according to the facilities and development work done in the area. The types of property or land registration in Goa are classified into agriculture and non-agriculture, residential flat, residential apartment, commercial flat and commercial apartment. The land values are measured in square feet. Mostly, the market value of the land will differ based on its location, but there won’t be changes in guideline value once it is fixed by the government. The land owners can visit nearby SRO to know the fair value provided by the officials.

The officials from the Public Work Department will quote the guideline value. The officials will visit the area and go through the basic amenities provided by the government before fixing the guideline value and tax revision. In case, the government takes over the land or property to convert it as an industrial area or other purpose, the government has to pay the land owner according to the guideline value or more than it was mentioned. Sometimes, it has to pay according to the judgment given by the court. The staff in the Sub Registration Office will follow it while they are registering the lands and properties. It is better to go through the guideline value of any land at any place before buying or selling it. Apart from guideline value, the buyer has to know the taxes charged on the property. It helps the buyer to predict the real value of lands or properties.
