July is a key time in the Paris property calendar. Many co-owners’ associations (syndicats de copropriété) are holding their annual general meetings right now — essential gatherings to vote on building budgets, review progress on past works, and plan for future projects.


One important topic now fully integrated into these meetings is the PPPT – short for Projet de Plan Pluriannuel de Travaux, or Multi-Year Work Plan Project.




What is the PPPT?


The PPPT is a 10-year roadmap outlining essential maintenance and renovation work in co-owned buildings (copropriétés). It focuses on:


Improving energy performance


Addressing structural and safety issues


Preserving shared spaces


Ensuring compliance with current building standards


It’s designed to help co-owners plan ahead, reduce surprises, and protect the value of their property over time.




As of 2025, It’s Mandatory



The PPPT is now a legal requirement for nearly all co-ownerships in France:


Since January 2023, it has applied to buildings with more than 200 lots.


From January 2024, to buildings with 51–200 lots.


And as of January 2025, it now applies to all buildings with more than 10 lots, provided they are over 15 years old.


So, if your building meets these criteria, you should have already seen the PPPT process initiated — or it will be on the agenda of this summer’s meeting.




What’s Involved?


A certified professional (often an architect or energy consultant) evaluates the condition of the building and its systems. Based on this diagnosis, they prepare a detailed plan including:


Recommended works,


A suggested timeline,


Cost estimates,


An energy efficiency assessment.


Once the plan is presented, co-owners vote on whether to adopt it fully or partially. Adoption doesn't mean immediate execution — it simply lays the groundwork for structured, informed decisions over the next decade.




Why It Matters for You


Even if you’re an international homeowner and not on-site full-time, the PPPT impacts:


Your monthly fees and future financial planning


The value and marketability of your property


Compliance with tightening energy efficiency regulations (especially important for rental properties)


It's a long-term tool for responsible ownership — and an opportunity to improve the overall quality of your investment.
