Partnership with the Directorate-General of Public Finances and the Order of Surveyors: digitization to reinforce the public service

The goal ? Facilitate access to land and cadastral data for the benefit of all users, individuals, State services, local authorities or even professionals, and digitize all processes to make the public service more efficient.

Every day, the land surveyors are required to produce land data as part of the conduct of their missions. If all of these land deeds have been published on the Géofoncier portal since 2010, it is nevertheless estimated that 13 million of these documents - essential for the conduct of development operations or the construction of housing - are now stored in the archives of the cadastre services.

The signing of this agreement between the Directorate General of Public Finances (DGFiP) and the Order of Expert Surveyors (OGE) aims to digitize the stock of these documents but also their production and thus meets a threefold objective:

• The digitization of the documentation (DMPC, land sketches and land consolidation minutes) stored and archived in the cadastre services since 1956 and its financing by the Order of expert surveyors.
• The complete dematerialization of the procedure for producing new DMPC flows up to the electronic signature, which has been successfully tested in several departmental public finance directorates and which was offered to surveyors during the confinement period.
• And the implementation of a simplified control in partnership (CAP) of the work of verification of survey documents provided by the cadastre services.

All the cadastral documents produced for more than half a century will, in the next 5 years, be digitized and then uploaded to the Géofoncier portal in order to make them freely accessible to the public.

The European Regional Development Fund was requested to finance part of the project since it is part of an ecological and digital transition process which directly contributes to the general interest. The only obligation for the profession? Guarantee citizens that they will have free access to the database of the Géofoncier portal.

This large-scale operation, coupled with the implementation of a lighter control in partnership (CAP) of the work of verifying survey documents will also simplify the work of verifying survey documents that the administration ensures. fiscal.

The President of the Superior Council of the EMB, Vincent Saint-Aubin, said "Very honored by this agreement which will make the land surveyor and the Géofoncier portal major players in the Blockchain of land". “This digitization work falls within the public service mission of our Order and is part of a genuine public / private partnership dynamic. ", concluded Vincent Saint-Aubin.
