Between 2013 and 2023, the local tax on owners made a record jump, according to the Observatory of the National Union of Real Estate Owners.
The bill is more and more painful for taxpayers. And the addition of the property tax is difficult to digest for the majority of owners. In 2024, the rating will indeed reach new heights, reports The Parisian. The French will pay 4.9% more this year than in 2023 on average, according to the National Union of Real Estate Property (UNPI). Owners have until October 20 to pay it if they have chosen to pay their tax online.
The fault is the increase in rental values, calculated according to inflation, which has mechanically caused local taxes to rise. Some municipalities have even decided to increase the tax even more sharply. Between 2013 and 2023, it increased by an average of 32.9% in France, according to the Observatory produced by the National Union of Real Estate Owners. It is in Paris where the increase is most spectacular. Property taxes jumped 83%. In Strasbourg, the increase reached 52%. Limoges completes the podium with +51.8% increase.
A more moderate year 2025
Faced with this surge in property taxes, the National Union of Real Estate Property is proposing an overhaul of local taxation by integrating the property tax and the housing tax into a single contribution. “We need a usage tax, whether you are an owner or a tenant”demands Sylvain Grataloup, president of the professional organization. “Today, it is unfair that we can live for free in a municipality, everyone must contribute to its operation and its investments”he adds to the newspaper.
Next year promises to be more lenient for owners. The revaluation of rental bases in 2025 should be more moderate after the 3.9% in 2024 and the 7.1% in 2023, a record. For the vast majority of owners, the increase in property taxes should be limited to this.
