What is a Village Map or Tippani?
A Village Map (also called Tippani in Karnataka revenue terminology) is an official cadastral map maintained by the Survey Department showing the layout of fields, plots, roads, lakes, and public areas within a village.
It assigns survey numbers and outlines the exact boundaries and extent of each land parcel.
Why is the Village Map Important?
- Verifies boundaries: Ensures your land does not encroach on neighbors or government land.
- Needed for DC Conversion: Authorities check Tippani to confirm your land type before permitting conversion.
- Supports building plan approvals: Especially in Panchayat limits where village maps are key records.
- Crucial for dispute resolution: Helps settle boundary or extent disputes with neighbors.
What Details Does It Contain?
- Survey number and sub-divisions
- Shape, dimensions, & adjoining survey numbers
- Presence of roads, drains, lakes
- Notes on reserved lands, forest, or green zone markings
It complements RTC & mutation extracts by graphically showing where and how your land sits.
