The repository Administrative Departments of the Sander is based on the 2019 version of the Official Geographical Code of INSEE: codes and wording of departments, as well as codes of the regions to which they are attached.
Creation of the Revolution (Law of 22 December 1789), the department became an autonomous local authority, with a deliberative body and an executive elected, by the law of 10 August 1871. It was managed by a general council elected for six years by universal suffrage, which in turn elected a president, executive of the department who prepares and executes the deliberations of the General Council, manages the budget and directs the staff.
The department has a wide range of expertise: social work, construction and maintenance of colleges, rural consolidation, organisation of school transport, etc.
There are 101 departments (including 5 overseas departments).
A department belongs to one region and only one. Each overseas region is made up of only one department.
In order to better meet some of their needs which are common to other local and regional authorities and which often go beyond the scope and capacities of a departmental entity, departments may join one or more institutions between local and regional authorities, each of which will delegate one or more competences in order to pool the means necessary to achieve their objectives.
