French Property Tax Surges 33% Over Decade

The rise in property tax is attributed mainly to increased rental values and the removal of the housing tax.

The property tax in France has increased by an average of 32.9% from 2013 to 2023, impacting homeowners significantly.
Paris experienced an 83% rise in property tax over the last ten years, the highest among major French cities.
The inflation of rental values, which rose by 14.8% between 2018 and 2023, is a major factor driving the tax increase.
The removal of the housing tax on primary residences has led many municipalities to raise property tax rates.
The Union Nationale des Propriétaires Immobiliers calls the tax rise disproportionate compared to a 19% inflation rate and proposes measures to mitigate its impact.
