❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Kollam Land Value

What is the land value per cent in Kollam in 2026?

Kollam land values vary widely by locality, with premium backwater and lake-facing plots around Ashtamudi and Paravur commanding the highest prices. Interior and suburban belts are more affordable, while NH-66 corridors and coastal zones show strong long-term demand. Use the calculator above for a zone-specific estimate.

How much is stamp duty and registration in Kollam?

Kerala charges a flat 8% stamp duty plus 2% registration fee, so total government charges come to 10% of the property value or SRO guideline value, whichever is higher. For a ₹50 lakh property, that works out to ₹5 lakhs in charges.

Can NRIs buy property in Kollam?

Yes. NRIs and OCIs can freely buy residential and commercial property in Kollam. Payments must go through an NRE or NRO bank account, and agricultural land is not allowed under FEMA rules. Waterfront plots may also be subject to CRZ restrictions.

Which Kollam areas are best for investment?

The strongest demand is usually seen in Ashtamudi, Paravur, and the NH-66 corridor because of backwater appeal and connectivity. Chavara and Karunagappally also attract buyers for larger plots, mixed-use land, and future appreciation.

Why are CRZ rules important in Kollam?

Kollam has extensive coastline, backwaters, and lake-facing land, so coastal regulations can apply to many premium plots. Before buying near water, verify the CRZ category and whether construction is allowed on the specific site.
