| Article | See "Folio" - Term used from 1807 to 1822. |
| Classification Article |
A classification article corresponds to a line in a folio describing the state of a plot (or part of it) at a given time. If a plot is divided into two or three classes, it forms two or three lines on the bulletin, while it forms only one on the indicative table: each line of the bulletin is a classification article; thus there can be more classification articles than plots. - Definition of the classification article in the 1811 Collection |
| Mutation Article | A mutation article corresponds to the list of successive taxpayers of a plot in a given folio. |
| Case | See "Folio" - Term used from 1882 onwards. |
| Initial Register | A register established close to the date of the production of the cadastral index map. It constitutes the legend of the map. The initial register contains as many chapters as there are sections in the municipality. The plots are listed in increasing numerical order. Each plot is associated with its taxpayer(s), nature, area, and evaluation. The initial register was not updated after its initial drafting. |
| Folio (also called article or case) | Page of the mutation register that contains the list of plots belonging to a taxpayer (more precisely the different successive states of the plots belonging to a taxpayer). A folio can contain one or more land accounts associated with different taxpayers. |
| Alphabetical List of Taxpayers | Part of the mutation register that lists the taxpayers mentioned in it. The taxpayers are listed in alphabetical order. They are generally associated with their folio number(s). |
| Mutation Register | There are several types of mutation registers (see other definitions in this glossary) :
|
| Mutation Registers (1807-1821) (also Land Contribution Mutation Register and Cadastral Contribution Mutation Register) |
The first type of mutation registers used from the creation of the cadastre in 1807 until the reform of November 26, 1821. There is a register for built properties and a register for unbuilt properties (which can be found in the same register). The accounts of the taxpayers are called articles. There was no provision for including the developments of a land account. In case of changes, a new article was created in a section of the register dedicated to the current year at the end of the register. The previous taxpayer's article is canceled (crossed out). |
| Land Property Register (1821-1881) | A register initialized following the reform of November 26, 1821. The taxpayers' land accounts contain the states of built and unbuilt properties. With each change occurring on a plot, the obsolete line is crossed out. The update is recorded in the same land account or in a new account depending on the type of mutation. The columns "Taken from" and "Transferred to" allow tracking these account changes. |
| Built Properties Mutation Register (1881-1911) | Following the law of November 26, 1881, it is recommended to separate the income related to built properties from that of unbuilt properties. After producing a balance sheet listing the built properties of each taxpayer in the land property register, the built properties are extracted into a new register. The land accounts are called cases. |
| Unbuilt Properties Mutation Register (1881-1914) | Following the law of November 26, 1881, built properties are transferred to a new register. In practice, unbuilt properties continue to be recorded in the Land Property Register. |
| Built Properties Mutation Register (1911-renovation) | Restructuring of the built properties mutation register after the 1910 decennial revaluation of built property assessments. This restructuring of the register does not involve any change in section or numbering. This register is used until the cadastre renovation (date varies greatly between municipalities). |
| Unbuilt Properties Mutation Register (1914-renovation) | Restructuring of the unbuilt properties mutation registers following the 1913 revaluation. This restructuring of the register does not involve any change in section or numbering. Its main purpose is to revise the net income per plot (its rental value). This register is used until the cadastre renovation (date varies greatly between municipalities). |
| Copy Plan | Version of the cadastral map kept in each municipality. |
| Minute Plan | Version of the cadastral map kept at the Departmental Direct Contributions Office. This is the working version of the map, generally used in the field by the surveyor in charge of producing the cadastre. |
