2026 property tax notices available online
The 2026 property tax notices are now available online for non-mensualized property owners since the end of August and for those who are mensualized since September 19. These notices provide the amount each taxpayer must pay for the upcoming year.Average tax amount and increases
The average amount of the property tax is 1,126 euros, with the share fixed by the State increasing by 0.9% compared to the previous year. This increase may be added to those decided by the municipalities and intercommunalities, which can also impose their own local taxes.Three payment methods for property tax
There are three payment methods available for the property tax. The first method is direct debit, which results in the tax being collected on October 26. Subscription for this method must be completed through the personal space before September 30, and the subscription is renewed in subsequent years.Second and third payment options
The second option is online payment on the tax website or through the application by scanning the QR code on the notice. The third option, available for amounts below 300 euros, allows payment in cash, checks, or bank card at an approved partner stationery store by the Direction générale des Finances publiques (DGFiP). Bank card payment is also available at the counters of the Finances publiques centers, with a deadline of October 15 for this method.DGFiP warns of scams and phishing attempts
The DGFiP reminds people to be cautious of scams and phishing attempts. It warns against clicking on links in emails that claim the property tax notice is available online, as these emails should not lead to direct payment through a link. Five precautions are recommended to avoid data theft from DGFiP.
