Property tax must be paid at the end of the week by Nice property taxpayers. The painful one marked by a record increase in Nice in 2024: + 19% after years without touching the municipal rate. The city had difficulty getting its outbreak accepted, particularly in the face of the opposition which regularly got carried away, denouncing a consequence of “pharaonic projects of Mayor Christian Estrosi”. MP Eric Ciotti even launched a petition in the fall to ask the mayor to renounce this record increase (highest tax increase in France in 2024). France Bleu Azur is able to confirm information from our colleagues at Nice Presseand to announce that the 2024 municipal rate should be renewed for 2025.
The tax will not fall and the Nice taxpayer will even pay “mechanically more” in 2025
The tax will even be increased, announces green opponent Jean-Christophe Picard. He specifies “it will be increased mechanically because every year since the 2021 Finance Law, there has been a revaluation of the automatic bases with regard to inflation” details the elected official who is counting on four percent of revaluation when the city of Nice would rather estimate this increase at 1.6 percent according to the opposition elected official.
Do the people of Nice really pay the highest property tax in France as the opposition says?
In this type of financial case, each team uses its own figure. If the city compares the rate by affirming that it does not have the strongest in France (and this is very true), Eric Ciotti prefers to recall that the increase in Nice 2024 is record (this is also true and this is not is not contradictory) while Jean-Christophe Picard prefers to compare the product per inhabitant, “the only real comparison possible since that is what the inhabitant pays” according to the elected official. “I compared the six largest cities apart from Paris and Lyon which have a special status and with 749 euros per inhabitant Nice is the large city which pays the most” believes Jean-Christophe Picard “ahead of Montpellier, Strasbourg, Nantes, Marseille and Toulouse”.
