Le recours au géomètre-expert est-il obligatoire pour demander un certificat d'urbanisme ?

No. Every person can seek a planning certificate about any property. However, the answer is made in view of elements contained in the demand and the planning certificate can be removed, at any time, in case of inaccuracy of the elements of the demand. It is thus preferable to address to the land surveyor-expert who will know how to formulate the planning certificate, according to the met legal situations, what will then allow to benefit from the aforementioned certification.
