The uniform locally finite tilings of the plane by finite combinatorial objects called labeling schemes are characterized. This representation is based on the analysis of the group of symmetries of a tiling which is realized independently of its geometry. It is shown that such tilings can be embedded in a geometry of the plane such that all tiles are regular polygons. As a consequence, it is given enumeration of all the uniform locally finite tilings having a given internal degree. It is also possible to decide whether or not there exists a tiling possessing a particular local geometric property.
