4.3. Application for a Certificat d'Urbanisme
If you are seeking a certificate as part of the process of buying a property, the notaire should obtain it for you.
Otherwise, you need to complete an application form. A certificate can be obtained free of charge from the mairie, or DDE if the mairie is so small it does offer a planning service.
You can also download the form by visiting Application for Planning Certificate .
If it is a operational certificate then you need to submit with the form a description of the proposed development and a site plan. Otherwise, you need merely submit a location plan.
The planning authority are obliged to respond within one month for a basic certificate, and two months for a detailed certificate, provided all necessary information has been provided. If they do not reply within the prescribed timescale, then the certificate is deemed to have been granted tacitly.
The certificate is valid for eighteen months, which can be extended by a further year, provided the planning rules have not changed in the meantime. To extend the certificate you need to make application at least two months before the expiry of the current certificate.
