Operational planning document at the municipal / local level. Distinct from the Urban Strategic Framework (SDU), which is regional and longer-term. Urban planning document that establishes the general and normative framework for the spatial development and organization of an urban area. It defines the main structural facilities and sets out a forecast of the form and stages of development.
The Master Urban Development Plan (PUD) is defined by Law No. 2020-624 of August 14, 2020 as the urban planning tool that establishes the general and normative framework for spatial development and planning of the urban agglomeration it covers.
The PUD is binding on third parties: detailed urban planning maps, land acquisitions, equipment and development projects must comply with its provisions.
The PUD determines the buildability of land. Before any land purchase, it is essential to verify the zoning defined by the PUD to ensure that the intended project is compatible with the planned use.

The ADU (Attestation de Droit d'Usage Coutumier / Customary Right of Use Certificate) is the single, secure document that replaces the former Village Certificate as of January 1, 2025. Established by Decree No. 2021-784 and secured by the SIGFU (Decree No. 2021-862), it requires a triple signature (village chief, CVGFR president, developer) and a unique IDUFCI. The ADU is not a property title: it constitutes a provisional recognition opening the path to the ACD (Arrêté de Concession Définitive / Definitive Concession Decree) — the ACD published in the Land Register IS the Land Title. Official deadline: 180 days (BÂTIR No. 004); in practice, 6 to 12 months between ACD signature and its publication in the Land Register. Published ACD = published Land Title — same legal deed, two stages.
