Cadastre

The cadastre is a set of administrative plans which list and identify all the real estate properties located in each municipality in France with a view to establishing the bases for local taxes. It comes into play when you plan to buy a house or a building plot, it is advisable to consult the cadastral plan of the municipality beforehand. You will thus be able to know the limits of the plot in question, the number of buildings therein or the size of neighboring plots.
