Survey Number Search AP – Find Land Records by Survey Number
A Survey Number is a key identifier used in Andhra Pradesh land and survey records to identify a particular parcel of land. A survey number may also have sub-divisions or hissa numbers, especially when a larger parcel has been divided.
If you want to verify land information, the Survey Number can be used along with details such as District, Mandal, Village and Khata Number in applicable Revenue and land-record services.
The Andhra Pradesh government’s survey documentation also confirms that Village Surveyors handle survey registers, measurements, subdivisions and related village/Mandal records.
What Is a Survey Number?
A Survey Number is a unique reference used in land and survey records to identify a parcel or portion of land within a village.
Depending on the property, you may also see:
- Survey Number
- Sub-Division Number
- Hissa Number
- Khata Number
- Extent
- Land Classification
- Pattadar/Khatadar details
A single original Survey Number can be divided into multiple sub-divisions after survey or partition-related changes.

For available online land-record services, you should generally keep the following information ready:
- District

What Details Can Be Checked Using a Survey Number?
Depending on the service and available records, a Survey Number can help you locate or verify information related to:
- Pattadar details
- Khata Number
- Land extent
- Land classification
- Adangal/Pahani
- ROR 1B
- FMB Sketch
- Village Map
- Mutation records
- E-Passbook-related information
The information available depends on the particular government record.
Survey Number vs Khata Number
These two numbers are not the same.
Survey Number identifies a surveyed parcel or subdivision of land.
Khata Number is associated with the account/holding in the relevant Revenue records and may contain one or more Survey Numbers.
Therefore, if you are searching for a particular property, keep both numbers available whenever possible.
Survey Number and Sub-Division Number
A Survey Number can be divided into smaller portions.
For example, a record might show:
Survey No. 125/1
Here, 125 represents the main Survey Number and /1 represents a subdivision.
The exact format and terminology can vary between land records.
The AP Village Surveyor job chart specifically includes measurement and plotting of subdivisions and incorporation of related changes into village and Mandal accounts.
How to Find a Survey Number?
If you do not know the Survey Number of your land, check your available property documents first.
It may appear on:
- Registered Sale Deed
- Previous land documents
- ROR 1B
- Adangal
- Pattadar Passbook
- FMB
- Mutation records
- Other Revenue records
If the Survey Number cannot be established from the available documents, contact the appropriate Revenue or Survey authority.
Survey Number and Adangal
Adangal/Pahani is an important Revenue record that can contain information including landowner name, extent, Khata Number, Survey Number and Hissa Number, along with other land and cultivation-related details.
Therefore, Adangal can be useful when cross-checking a Survey Number.
Survey Number and ROR 1B
ROR 1B is another important Revenue record.
When checking land information, compare the Survey Number shown in ROR 1B with:
- Registered documents
- Adangal
- FMB
- Pattadar Passbook
- Mutation records
If the numbers or extent do not match, investigate the discrepancy through the appropriate Revenue authority.
Survey Number and FMB Sketch
The FMB (Field Measurement Book) contains survey-related field measurements and sketches.
It can be particularly useful when you need to understand:
- Field measurements
- Subdivisions
- Survey boundaries
- Parcel configuration
- Extent calculations
The AP government’s Village Surveyor job chart includes measurement and plotting of subdivisions and maintenance of FMB-related records.
What If the Survey Number Is Wrong?
If your land document and Revenue record show different Survey Numbers:
- Compare the registered document.
- Check ROR 1B.
- Check Adangal.
- Check the FMB Sketch.
- Check the Village Map.
- Verify mutation/subdivision records.
- Contact the appropriate Revenue or Survey authority.
Do not assume that an online entry is automatically correct or that a difference automatically means someone has changed your land record.
Can I Search Land by Survey Number Online?
Online land-record services can provide access to applicable information using land identifiers such as Survey Number, depending on the service currently offered.
However, not every land record or survey document may be available through the same online search.
For a formal survey, demarcation, correction or dispute, you may need to approach the competent Revenue/Survey authority.
