When the government acquires land in Bhutan, compensation is paid at rates set under the Amended Land Compensation Rates (LCR) 2023, issued by the Ministry of Finance and effective 1 November 2023. This free tool looks up the applicable rate for any of the 1,062 rural chiwogs or 24 urban throm precincts — so you don't have to search through a 40-page notification.
Rural rates are quoted per decimal by chiwog and land class (Kamzhing, Chhuzhing, or orchard), with adjustment factors for road access, water, soil stability, and topography. Urban rates apply by throm precinct. Enter your location and area below to see an indicative figure. For a formal valuation or an acquisition dispute, Tshechu & Associates — a Thimphu CPA firm — can assist.
