ABC zoning for municipalities in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region — Pinel 2022

The new “ABC” zoning was revised by the Ministerial Order of February 16, 2022 made pursuant to Article R.304-1 of the Construction and Housing Code. It classifies territories according to the degree of tension of their local real estate market. The A/B/C zoning 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). The A/B/C zoning is based on statistical criteria related to territorial dynamics (demographic evolution, etc.), local market tension and rent and price levels. Zoning A/B/C has multiple uses: — Rental investment scheme for individuals: 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. — Ready at Zero Rate (PTZ): resource ceilings, tranches, quotities and operating ceilings — Social loan from Location-Accession (PSLA): resource, rent and price ceilings — Tax on the high rents of small area dwellings in Area A. — Mobilisation of public land — etc..
