ProCadastre is designed for professionals: notaries, real estate agents, architects, surveyors, developers, property inspectors, investors, and local authorities.
The application provides easy access to the Cadastre, Local Urban Development Plan, Land Registry, GeoRisk summaries, site plans, and property values for properties throughout France.
It features an interactive map and a menu in the upper left corner for searching and editing documents.
You can zoom in and out on the map to find a municipality, perform a targeted search, or use geolocation.
Targeted searches can be performed in three ways: by address, by GPS coordinates, or as a reverse search using cadastral parcel references.
By default, the map is displayed in satellite view, but it can also be shown as a plan view.
There are six types of documents available, which you can edit as PDFs.
Each document relates to the selected parcel. The documents are as follows:
- The Georisks extract,
- The Local Urban Development Plan extract,
- The Cadastral Matrix survey,
- The Cadastral Plan,
- The Site Plan,
- The Land Value Assessment
ProCadastre allows you to perform interactive searches for parcels, permits, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), commercial companies, and real estate investment companies (SCIs).
You can also measure polygons in square meters and linear distances in meters.
By clicking on the pen icon, you can draw a shape point by point and quickly determine the area of a square, a lake, a swimming pool, or any other object on a map.
You can also determine the length of a street or a building facade.
The drawings and measurements can also be applied to all the documents you edit. ProCadastre displays an alert before editing. The shape's legend and its measurements are displayed on the document.
Several map backgrounds are available. The layer stack icon in the bottom left corner allows you to select them. The satellite background is active by default, but you can choose the vector map. Note that the "active" map background will be applied to your PDFs. You can therefore choose either one for your documents.
Three layers are available and are overlaid on the active map background.
The PLU layer, which allows you to display the Local Urban Development Plan (PLU) interactively on the map;
The DRONE layer, useful for professional drone pilots or drone users, displays a map of the maximum permitted heights and no-fly zones across the entire territory;
The RPG layer, which displays the Land Parcel Register and allows you to see which crop is present anywhere on the map by long-pressing.
The gear icon allows you to customize many settings, such as:
changing units of measurement, showing or hiding parcel numbers, showing or hiding built-up areas on a parcel, showing or hiding help messages, and setting the default map background type.
A long press allows you to retrieve and copy the GPS coordinates of a parcel in decimal format.
