Land is a state subject. In a state, government-owned properties fall under the control of the revenue department, and the ownership of such properties vests with the city collector. For developing housing projects on such land parcels, developers, state as well as private builders, have to take the collector’s permission. It is only after obtaining his permission that a developer or property owners can start the process of attaining permissions from other municipal and development agencies to state the construction work.
