I. – In the departments of Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte and Reunion, a parcel-based land register is established and maintained at the State’s expense, to be used as a basis for the valuations to be used for the assessment of the property tax on built-up properties, the property tax on non-built-up properties and the taxes ancillary to these contributions. This land register is also intended to serve as a means of identifying and physically determining buildings, with a view to implementing the reform of land registration carried out by the décret n° 55-22 du 4 janvier 1955 modifié et les textes pris pour son application.
In the Department of Mayotte, the parcel cadastre established in the territorial collectivity of Mayotte applies. Its conditions of repair and conservation are governed and adapted by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
II. – The cadastral documentation may be put to the uses provided for in I as and when it is established in each commune.
III. – Decrees in the Council of State lay down the conditions for the application of this article. One of these decrees must lay down the terms and conditions according to which account is taken, for the distribution of contributions collected for the benefit of the department and various bodies, of changes in the taxable base that may result from the introduction of the cadastre in each commune.
