Departmental collectivity (French: collectivité départementale) is a legal designation for the French overseas collectivity of Mayotte. The term is used to indicate that Mayotte is similar to a French Department but is not yet an overseas department. The term was made official by Law No. 2001-616 on 11 July 2001.[1][2]
