Overview

• DGCL and DGFIP figures show 12.6% of France’s 34,797 communes raised their municipal rate in 2025, totaling 4,386 decisions concentrated in small towns.
• Separately, 13.1% of the 1,249 intercommunal authorities voted increases to the intercommunal property tax rate.
• Based on these votes, Le Parisien calculates the combined municipal plus intercommunal rate rose in 24.5% of communes.
• In most places the change is under two percentage points, though Gandrange (Moselle) lifted its municipal rate from 27.18% to 64.49%, implying nearly a 140% jump in amounts due locally.
• Le Parisien and Le Figaro provide searchable tools to check local changes, and tax notices are scheduled to arrive before the end of September.
