Land Book

The delivers land is an legal institution present in the three French departments of the the Low-Rhine, the Haut-Rhin and the Moselle, equivalent of the Land Registry in the remainder of the France and ensuring land publicity.

The registers of the land book mention the right realities owner S of a Immeuble, and for each holder of these rights, the constraints and them loads which burden these rights.

The inscription of a right to the land book profits from the presumption of exactitude.

History of the land book

The land book was introduced by a German law of 1891 whereas Alsace and Lorraine were annexed by the Germany. It thereafter was preserved and adapted to the French law, by a law of 1924.

Establishment of the land book

The service of the land book is ensured within the magistrates' courts and thus depends on the ministry for justice; the mission is fulfilled by magistrates (known as judges of the land book ), assisted clerks, present in each magistrates' court of Alsace and the Moselle.

Computerization

The Informatization of the land book is under development: it is a question of digitizing the data contained in several thousands of registers going back sometimes to several decades. This computerization is the subject of the law n° 94-342 of April 29th, 1994 relating to the computerization of the land book of the departments of the Low-Rhine, Haut-Rhin and the Moselle. It was created on this occasion a Groupement of public interest, the GILFAM (grouping for the computerization of the land book of Alsace and the Moselle), charged with implementing the computerization of the land book.
