Article 78 of the French General Tax Code

Whether it is a farm lease or a sharecropping lease, the owner is required, each time the lease is renewed or amended, to submit to the administration, within three months, a declaration indicating the designation of the holding, by reference to the land register, and its total surface area, as well as the surname and first names of the farmer or sharecropper.

In the case of a lease with a portion of fruit, this declaration also indicates the proportional share of each of the parties; it must then include the written agreement of the lessee.

In the case of leases of isolated plots, the same information is provided for each new lease.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 78

Qu’il s’agisse de bail à ferme ou de bail à métayage, le propriétaire est tenu, à chaque renouvellement ou modification de bail, de remettre à l’administration, dans un délai de trois mois, une déclaration indiquant la désignation de l’exploitation, par référence au cadastre, et sa superficie totale, ainsi que les nom et prénoms du fermier ou métayer.

Dans le cas de bail à portion de fruits, cette déclaration indique, en outre, la part proportionnelle de chacune des parties ; elle doit alors comporter l’accord écrit du preneur.

En cas de location de parcelles isolées, les mêmes renseignements sont fournis pour chaque location nouvelle.
