Official sources consulted : .

Conditions, costs and deadlines according to the procedure and your situation. This guide helps to prepare; the competent department decides.

For preparation

1. Locate the plot on an official map

On Georisques, look for address or plot. Check the building: adjacent plot and homonymous street may fall within another area. Note date and source.

2. Compare card and owner's status

ERRIAL helps to prepare information for sale/lease. Check the current status of risks, zoning and complements. The card does not replace the owner's check and does not prove the absence of any risk.

3. Crossing Sources

Consult the applicable natural hazards, soils and plans; for aerial noise, the relevant plan, for other noises local maps. In case of unavailability or deviation, contact town hall/prefecture.

4. Ask questions and prepare your decision

Prior claims, protection work, and basement condition. Check insurance and restrictions with a professional. Complete the form below and check the answers before signing.
