🇫🇷 2025 French Property Tax Reminder For (happy) Paris Property Owners

All owners of a property in France must pay French property tax every year, in October. This year French property tax is due by October 20, 2025.

The good news is that if you bought your Parisian home or pied-a- terre in 2025, you already paid this tax as part of the closing fees when you signed the deed with the notaire. This means you will not have to pay French property tax until October 2026.

🇫🇷 My advice:

If you do not reside in France but you want to make sure you receive your "taxe foncière" notice online next year (usually in September), you should create an account on the French tax website by completing the special

**Form for Non-residents**

You will need to provide the following information:

• Full Name

• Date and Place of birth

• Email address

• Postal address abroad

Once you will have completed the form, you should receive your dedicated tax identification number (not immediately though, wait a few months) and you will have access to your tax payer dashboard. You will even have the option to pay your taxe foncière electronically.

🇫🇷 You won't have to calculate your property tax or how much you will have to pay, the notice will indicate how much you will owe the government and the due date.

🇫🇷 If you paid French property tax in 2024, your French property tax this year should be about the same as what you paid last year. In 2025, a 1.3% property tax increase is expected.

🇫🇷 If you bought your property this year, the notaire and I informed you how much French property tax was due last year so you have a good idea of how much you will owe next year.

🇫🇷 When completing the form, you have the option to request a monthly payment plan. In practical terms, this means you will pay your property tax over 10 months, from January to October. You will be debited monthly, on the 15th of each month, for the same amount. If the property tax has increased during the year (as is the case in 2025), you will have to pay an additional amount in October.

Note that the French tax government website has a space dedicated for English speakers.
