ABC zoning was introduced in 2003 as part of the so-called rental investment scheme
Robien
. A decree of 2 October 2023 allows the reclassification of more than 200 municipalitiesunder ABC zoning.
Among them, 154 go to
stretched area
to support the production of new housing in areas with a tense market, promoting intermediate rental housing and pass on to new purchasers the zero-interest loan from 2024.
French municipalities are classified according to the level of imbalance between housing supply and demand. This classification takes into account real estate prices, amounts of housing rents and the
territorial dynamics
(e.g. demographic change). In particular, it makes it possible to determine the municipalities in which housing subsidies are applicable.
The 5 categories of geographical areas, in descending order of tension, are as follows:
categories A, AA, B1 : areas considered as
tense
;
category B2 : zones
unbalanced
;
category C : zones
untense
.
Service-Public.fr offers you a simulatorwhich determines the area to which your municipality belongs.
FYI
ABC zoning does not apply to rent control or the tenant notice period. For both criteria, stretched area-specific zoning applies.
