Survey of properties to issue Form 13 soon

MYSORE: If you imagine that the khatha issued by the Mysore City Corporation (MCC) and registration at the Sub-Registrar’s office, complete with ownership deed printed on stamp paper along with your photograph, bestowed you with legal ownership of the property, then think again.

The legal ownership of property in urban areas will be bestowed only on securing Form 13 issued by the Department of Survey, Settlement and Land Records. But not to panic, the Government has now decided to issue Form 13, and hence, a survey of properties in urban areas will commence on December 15 and will be completed in one year.

To start with, the project will be taken up in Mysore, Shimoga, Hubli-Dharwad, Mangalore and Gulbarga. The Survey Settlement and Land Records Department will create a databank of urban property with its ownership records. Rudresh, Joint Director of the department, told presspersons here on Wednesday that Form 16 bestowed legal ownership on agricultural land in villages and similarly it was Form 13 for ownership of property in urban areas which would be issued in a phased manner.
