Un fonctionnaire peut il être gérant d'une SCI ?

Overview

The video addresses whether a French civil servant can serve as the manager (“gérant”) of a real estate company (SCI). It explains that, until around 2016, the prevailing view was that civil servants could not hold such a role because they were expected to devote their full working time to public service.

Change in Position (2016)

A 2016 clarification by the Public Service Ethics Commission (Commission de déontologie de la fonction publique) relaxed this position. According to the report, a civil servant may be appointed as SCI manager if the SCI is structured to manage family interests—specifically, when the company is formed between members of the same family.
