Meebhoomi FMB - Your LP Map/FMB/Village Map

The Meebhoomi AP portal, launched by the Andhra Pradesh Revenue Department in June 2015, is a digital platform that revolutionizes access to land records.

Among its offerings is the Field Measurement Book (FMB), a critical document that provides detailed maps and measurements of land parcels, including boundaries, survey numbers, and sub-divisions. The FMB is essential for verifying land dimensions, resolving disputes, and facilitating property transactions.

What is the Meebhoomi AP Field Measurement Book (FMB)?

The FMB is a cadastral record that contains map-based data of land parcels, maintained by the Revenue Department at the district or Tehsildar level. It includes:

• Survey Sketches: Maps drawn to a scale of 1:1,000 or 1:2,000, showing land boundaries and sub-divisions.
• Measurements: Precise dimensions of the land, including length, width, and area (in acres/hectares).
• Survey Numbers: Unique identifiers for each land parcel, with sub-division numbers for individual owners.
• Boundary Details: G-lines (imaginary boundary lines), F-lines (actual field boundaries), and extension lines (neighboring fields).
• Topographical Features: Nearby landmarks, roads, or water bodies.

The FMB is crucial for:

• Verifying land boundaries before buying or selling property.
• Resolving disputes over land dimensions or encroachments.
• Supporting legal processes, such as court cases or loan applications.
• Assisting in land planning and development projects.
