The Bestaux credit comparator has just published a study at the end of last week on the property tax. The broker compared the value of this tax in the 36,000 municipalities in France before making a classification of the most expensive, but also affordable regions.
On average the property tax, which the owners must pay in a few weeks, is 118 euros per month in France for housing of 70 m2, against 113 € in 2023. An increase of 5 % who will not go unnoticed for the main concerned.
The most expensive cities in France?
If the big cities like Paris, Marseille or Lyon are obviously the most expensive in your mind, well … you are wrong. Indeed, it is other smaller cities, which have the right to the most expensive property tax in France.
At the very top of the ranking, the broker best level place of cities like Nîmes, Le Havre and Perpignan. The Loire prefecture, Saint-Etienne, is also in good place. In these cities, it is above all the cost of the property tax compared to the credit monthly which exceeds the national average.
Buy dear, pay little
Because ultimately, the price of the property tax seems to be inversely linked to that of the purchase price of the property. The more you will pay dearly your property, the more compared to the property tax. Thus in very large cities like Paris, Marseille and Lyon, the property tax represents less of a credit monthly payment.
In detail, the Marseille city has a property tax of 0.9 monthly payment, just like Bordeaux and Toulouse. In Lyon it’s still a little cheaper, with a property tax equivalent to 0.7 credit payments. Paris is finally the best city to pay a property tax with a report of 0.3 credit payments.
Can we escape it? Help exists
If you have just bought real estate, you will have to pay, in a few months, the property tax. One more charge to be settled, which can put you in financially difficulty. To avoid this, the best is still to predict this expense, starting to put money aside over several months.
But for some homes, with low income, it is possible to be helped by the state to lighten the note. This is particularly the case for the elderly, with low incomes. If you have just bought a “new building”, you can also be exempt from property tax for 3 to 5 years.
This may be the case if you have done energy renovation work in a property built before 1989. These works must cost at least 10,000 euros to benefit from the exemption. Resource conditions in each of these cases are detailed here.
