Town hall - Local authority Dijon

Since the merger of the regions, Dijon has become the capital of Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Dijon Metropole, formerly Greater Dijon, is a living area of 260,000 inhabitants, a very attractive economic, commercial and cultural center, whether it is to live there, create a business, study or have fun. Dijon Metropole is engaged in a real urban mutation and is one of the only agglomerations in the Grand Est to gain inhabitants. Its city center is a convivial place that gives pride of place to soft traffic and café terraces.

In addition to the central town hall, the annexes can also register applications for registration on the lists of electors. So, at the ballot box, citizens! For non-registrants wishing to appear on the lists of electors: young or old, from 18 years old, fortunately, there is no age limit to participate in democratic debates. The election office also concerns those who have just moved to our city, who have changed their neighbourhoods or who want to find out about their polling stations. Here are the pieces to be provided: the valid national identity card or certificate of French nationality or a valid electoral card as well as proof of domicile. Novelty: online registration on the list on www.mon.service-public.fr!

Whether you're a tourist or a Côte-d'Orien, the www.cotedor.fr website, which comes under the authority of the Conseil départemental, gives you easy access to information and practical services in the département. Modern and interactive, it enables you tolocate job offers, check road conditions and traffic information, locate car-sharing areas and find out about all the events on the Côte-d'Orien calendar. This is where you'll find ideas for outings, a map of cycle routes and numerous hiking trails. You can also take care of all your administrative formalities.

Formerly appointed General Council, the Ministerial Council is the assembly assembly, with the aim of improving the lives of some 530 000 inhabitants of the department and making Côte d'Or dynamic and attractive. To achieve this, the Departmental Council has many skills: education with the management of colleges, solidarity with older people, preservation and rejuvenation of the territories, sport, culture, housing, agriculture, employment, travel… Travel that you can do by bicycle thanks to the département and green tracks of the department and even by barge on the fluvial axes of the Côte d'Or (Saône, Bourgogne Canal…)! The Council also has ambitions for tourism… Great ambitions with, for example, the MuséoParc Alésia, who celebrated his 5 years in 2017 and who does not have success. A little advice to the Dijonnais? In the spring, check the programming of the Council… Its gardens are open for pleasant and always successful cultural events! And throughout the Côte d'or, find the Arts & Scenes festival. Finally, the Departmental Council invests in projects to improve the lives of the people with, for example, the platform for the deployment of fibre optics throughout the department, or the creation of a web platform for sustainable development management in colleges. In short, a Departmental Council on all fronts and which is "every day with you"!

After 3 years and 75 meetings with the elected representatives of the 23 municipalities of Dijon Metropole, the Local Intercommunal Urban Plan for Housing and Transport, PLUi-HD, came into force on 23 January 2020. Drawn up on the basis of the PLU (Local Urban Plan) of the municipalities in the territory, the PLH (Local Housing Programme) and the PDH (Urban Mobility Plan), it maps out the face of the metropolis for the next 10 to 15 years. It is from the PLUi-HD that urban planning authorizations are issued, such as building permits. To make it easier to understand, Dijon Metropole has set up two practical tools:

a guide that brings together all the provisions of the PLUi-HD (siting rules, maximum height, green spaces, fences, parking ...).

an online cartography (api-carto.dijon.fr/PLUI or on the Dijon Métropole website) where you can enter an address to find out about all the urban planning measures related to the parcel.

The PLUi-HD also integrates the provisions related to mobility with actions on the urban transport network (bus, trams) but also soft modes or the transport of goods. Finally, this document takes into account the nature in the city and the preservation of agricultural land in the long term.

The PSLA scheme enables households on a certain income to own their own home.

In 2023, the ceiling was €26,921 per year for a single-person household and €50,489 for a family of 5 or more.

The rent-to-own scheme offers a number of advantages:

households can remain tenants for a period of time freely defined by the parties ;

the sale price is regulated by the government and benefits from reduced VAT;

the property is exempt from property tax (taxe foncière sur les propriétés bâties - TFPB) for the first fifteen years;

monthly payments must not exceed the amount of the last rent paid during the rental phase;

Re-housing guarantee (means-tested). If the purchase option is not exercised, the HLM operator must propose at least three alternative housing solutions by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within six months. The occupant has one month to respond. Failing agreement, the occupant must leave the premises. Conversely, if one of the rehousing proposals is accepted, the occupant continues to pay an occupancy indemnity equal to the rent less the amount earmarked for the acquisition, while waiting to move.

Buy-back guarantee. Once an owner, the occupant can resell the property at any time. If necessary, they can repay their loan early without incurring early repayment penalties.
To protect occupants in the event of need, the PSLA mechanism includes a buy-back guarantee that runs for 15 years after the option is exercised, until the loan is repaid. This guarantee must be activated at the borrower's request within one year following a transfer, divorce, unemployment, death or disability.

PSLA purchases can be made from operators and housing cooperatives belonging to the HLM movement that have been granted the corresponding approvals.The Dijon metropolitan area has thus approved 200 housing units for 2023 within the real estate programs of 4 partner developers and landlords: Aqisia by Habellis, Odifis by Orvitis, CDC Habitat and Ghitti, a private developer.

Action Logement also assists employees in this process, and offers a loan for home ownership when the option is exercised, subject to certain conditions. For further information, visit actionlogement.fr

The Société Publique Locale Aménagement de l'Agglomération Dijonnaise (SPLAAD) is a public company whose capital is exclusively held by local authorities. Created in 2009 by the Communauté d'Agglomération du Grand Dijon, the SPLAAD is dedicated to the development of housing areas and business parks in the Dijon area, exclusively on behalf of and within the territory of the local authorities that make up its shareholding. Its team is composed of 14 people, including 7 project managers.

Their first mission concerns rehabilitation or construction, such as the recent rehabilitation of Halle 38, transformed into cultural spaces for Dijon Métropole, or the Monge parking lot which is located opposite the Cité internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin.

It mainly concerns the development of housing areas, such as the Zac Coeur de Ville in Quetigny, the Zac Centre-ville and the Saint-Exupéry and Kennedy shopping centers in Chenôve, and the Zac des Fontaines in Sennecey-lès-Dijon. But also in Dijon, the Arsenal district, the Quai des Carrières Blanche district and the Zac Jardin des Maraîchers. The SPLAAD also plays a real role in advising, providing services and engineering projects for its local authorities, particularly in drawing up specifications in line with the PLUIHD (local inter-communal urban planning plan for housing and transport), and respecting the criteria of social diversity - both within the districts and within the buildings - by means of balanced programs combining open-access housing, home ownership and low-rent housing. All the operations launched by SPLAAD involve an urban architect who pre-designs the housing area for use by the developers, with the aim of ensuring the architectural coherence of the entire neighborhood, including the existing buildings.

SPLAAD is building the new school barns with the Metropolitan Campus and the construction of two engineering schools

The SPLAAD is also the developer of Dijon Metropole's economic development zones, including the Valmy III tertiary cluster, the Dijon Bourgogne eco-park and the Beauregard park.
