In ten years, the increase in property taxes is particularly impressive. As in Paris, where the increase is 83% over the period 2013-2023.
REAL ESTATE – A bill that continues to climb. Owner occupying a home or simple lessor, no one escapes the property tax which continues to rise over the years, as demonstrated by the latest annual study carried out by the National Union of Real Estate Owners (UNPI) and unveiled by The Parisian this Tuesday, October 15.
Between 2013 and 2023, property taxes increased, on average, by 32.9%, according to the National Property Tax Observatory. A rate four times higher than that of the increase in rents (at 7.7% over the same period) and almost twice higher than inflation (19%).
According to figures revealed by the daily, certain municipalities in Savoie, Haute-Corse, Pyrénées-Orientales and Essonne have experienced the sharpest increase over the last decade. Thus, in Popolasca, on the Isle of Beauty, the tax saw a 202.3% increase in its property tax, the record over the period. For Freney, in Savoie, or Thuès-Entre-Valls in the Pyrénées-Orientales, the increase is respectively of the order of 155.6% and 153.8%.
And unsurprisingly, Paris occupies the top of the ranking of large cities in France with an 83% increase over ten years. A first place that Paris owes mainly to the increase in the municipal rate in 2023 and the increase in rental bases. The French capital is well at the top of this ranking where the top 5 include Strasbourg (52%), Limoges (51.8%), Grenoble (49.5%) and Nantes (48%).
Towards an increase of 2% in 2025?
Over the period 2013-2023, two thirds of the increase in property tax at the national level can be explained by the revaluation of rental values (+7.1% in 2023), a basic index which estimates the value of a accommodation. And an index which increases by a further 3.9% in 2024 and whose increase is estimated at 2% in 2025.
This value is then multiplied by the tax rates voted at the local level by each community (municipality, intercommunity, etc.), which explains the disparity in the increase.
The municipalities where the increase is the most significant defend themselves by mentioning the abolition of the housing tax (then paid by the occupants of a property, in particular the tenant) which caused them to lose part of their income over the period. resources. The UNPI is therefore campaigning so that owners can pass on the increase in property tax to tenants; Above all, the association wants an overhaul of local taxation so that property tax and housing tax (which remains on second homes) are merged.
