Statute overview

About this statute

This text is the preamble of a 10 July 1845 law concerning the prohibition on covering roofs with thatch or other combustible materials. New buildings in towns and communes must use only approved roof coverings, and may not use straw, wood, or other flammable materials. Buildings planned 200 meters from an existing building are excepted from this measure. The exception in article 2 does not apply to two kinds of cases: building within six metres of a State road when a special permit is already required, and cases where a person must request an alignment from the communal authority. Existing thatched, plank, or shingle roofs may be repaired with the same materials for 15 years, but repairs that amount to reconstruction are limited; later repairs, factory roofs, and some post-period repairs face stricter rules and penalties.
