More municipalities have decided in 2025 to increase the housing tax on second homes, according to statistics from the General Directorate of Public Finances (Dgfip) consulted by France Inter on Monday November 3. The owners of these second homes must receive their housing tax notice on Monday, which no longer exists for main residences.
3,690 municipalities in France are eligible for this increase, those where property prices are high and which have a certain number of second homes. Among these municipalities concerned, 1,628 are applying the increase this year, or almost half (44.1%), compared to 1,461 in 2024 (39.5%).
Furthermore, in 2025, almost half (40%) of these 1,628 municipalities voted for the maximum increase rate of 60%, compared to 37% in 2024, where 539 municipalities out of 1,461 had applied this maximum rate. Town halls can decide to apply an increase of between 5 and 60%.
According to the report from the General Directorate of Public Finances, the regions where we find the most municipalities affected by the increase and applying it are Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (339 municipalities), then the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region (327), Occitanie (185), Nouvelle-Aquitaine (157) and Île-de-France (152).
