To know before starting the procedure
In Côte d'Ivoire, most rural land is encumbered by customary rights held by indigenous village communities. Before a plot can enter the urban domain and give rise to a Definitive Concession Order (ACD), these rights must be compensated: this is the purge.
The official purge rate schedule, set by the administration, varies by geographic zone and land pressure. It ranges from 2,000 FCFA/m² in urban Abidjan to 600 FCFA/m² in remote agricultural zones.
Beyond the purge amount, the process includes a land survey (history, boundaries, oppositions), a CVGFR step, a prefectoral order, then integration into the urban domain. Practical timelines often exceed regulatory ones. Capital Foncier supports diaspora investors in verifying these steps during a discovery consultation.
The official schedule is set by the administration, but in practice adjustments may occur at the CVGFR level based on local realities (age of rights, family density, perceived value). The effective amount is documented in the prefectoral order closing the purge.
Yes, unless the land already belongs to the State's private domain or a subdivision where the purge has been performed. Verifying the land status is the very first due diligence step — Capital Foncier can handle it during the discovery consultation.
The texts provide for several months (land survey, opposition period, prefectoral order). In practice, the process can extend over 6 to 18 months depending on file quality, CVGFR workload, and whether oppositions exist. These timelines must be anticipated in any rural land investment project.
