ABC zoning for the municipalities of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region — Pinel 2019

The new zoning “ABC” was revised by the Order of 04/07/2019 made pursuant to Article R.304-1 of the Construction and Housing Code. It classifies the territories according to the degree of tension of their local real estate market. Zoning A/B/C characterises the tension of the housing market by dividing the territory into 5 zones, from the most tense (A bis) to the most relaxed (zone C). Zoning A/B/C is based on statistical criteria linked to territorial dynamics (demographic trends, etc.), local market tension and rent and price levels. Zoning A/B/C has multiple uses: — Private rental investment scheme: rent and resource ceilings for tenants. — Device Rent affordable and rent better. — Rental investment scheme for institutional investors: VAT rate reduced to 10 % in zones A and B1. — Zero Rate Loan (PTZ): resource ceilings, tranches, quotas and operating ceilings — Rental-Accession Social Loan (PSLA): resource, rent and price ceilings — Tax on high rents for small-area dwellings in Area A. — Mobilisation of public land — etc. More information at https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/zonage-b-c
