FranceThe article discusses the increase in property tax (taxe foncière) in France for 2026, highlighting which communes have seen the largest increases. The average property tax paid by households in 2025 was 1,117 euros, totaling 43.1 billion euros nationwide. This tax has become a major revenue source for local authorities since the gradual abolition of the housing tax on primary residences. The tax calculation depends on two factors: the rental value of properties, which increased by 0.8% this year due to inflation, and the rates set by local municipalities and intercommunalities. The article notes that the beginning of a new mandate is often used to implement such changes, and it provides tools for readers to check their specific commune’s tax trends.
