CREATING A FILE
The request for a building permit must be carried out with one of the following forms :
- cerfa n°13406*07 when it is for an individual house and/or its annexes,
- cerfa n°13409*07 for other constructions (collective accommodation, farms, establishments receiving the public…).
The form must be completed with documents which are on a restrictively enumerated list which is found in the instruction manual for a building permit.
SUBMITTING THE FILE
The file must include 4 copies and be sent by certified letter with return receipt requested or dropped off at City Hall of the community where the piece of land is located. Sometimes extra copies are needed if the construction or layout are situated in a protected sector (historical monument, site, natural reserve, national park…).
City Hall issues a receipt with the registration number that mentions the starting point up to the date when construction can begin if there is no opposition from the relative department.

Issuing a city planning certificate enables the community to make sure the construction is in compliance with city planning rules. According to the type of project and its location, you have to submit a request for a permit (building permit, converting permit…) or a declaration before construction begins. Before beginning construction, it is recommended to request a city planning certificate to obtain information about the relevant piece of land.
