AutoRize helps you prepare these documents quickly and without errors.
What a certificat de urbanism is
The certificat de urbanism is a document issued by the town hall that sets out the legal, economic and technical status of a plot or property: what may be built, which urban planning indicators apply (UTR, POT, CUT) and which permits or approvals will be needed next. It is not a building permit but an informational document that defines the framework within which you can develop your project. Its validity period is stated directly on the certificate.
What documents you need
To obtain a certificat de urbanism you need a request completed on the official F.1 form, the identification details of the applicant and the property (address, cadastral number, area), a site plan and a location plan, usually drawn from the cadastral documentation. Depending on the stated purpose of the request, the town hall may ask for additional items. AutoRize guides you through the information required and arranges it automatically in the requested format.
How to obtain the certificat de urbanism
In general, the process involves completing the request on the F.1 form, attaching the required plans and documents, paying the fee and filing the file with the town hall that covers the location of the property. The fee and the issuing deadlines are set by the town hall. After review, the town hall issues the certificate, which shows what you can build and which permits you will need to obtain for the next stage, the building permit.
What the certificate is used for
The certificat de urbanism tells you clearly what is allowed on your land and what the next steps are. Based on it you learn which permits and approvals you must obtain, which urban planning indicators your project must respect and whether your purpose is compatible with the rules for the area. It is the starting point for the DTAC technical documentation and for working with an authorized designer.
