OBS

Les dossiers de permis de construire sont déposés en mairie et, après étude relative aux réglementations communales, transmis au directeur départemental de la construction, qui apparaît comme une véritable plaque tournante de l'instruction. C'est ce fonctionnaire qui examine les dossiers eu égard aux règlements dont il est directement responsable (essentiellement l'urbanisme) (...) Dans des cas tout à fait particuliers, l'instruction des dossiers est confiée au maire lui-même ou encore à l'ingénieur en chef du Génie rural.
