Taxe Foncière goes up

[Blaze]

We haven't had ours for this year yet. The year before last , our ordures were 238€ and last year 246€. We get an excellent service - weekly collection of non-recyclable rubbish (we usually end up putting our bin out every 2 weeks as we have so little) and every 2 weeks for recyclable stuff. All food waste goes on the compost heap.

Edit : Just got our foncière bill - dustbin tax has gone up to 282€

Since we just bought the house in December, I don't know when we will get our first TF bill. Notaire said it could take up to two years! I know what the previous owners TF was, but I'm sure ours will be more, based on the price we paid for it.

From the DT today:

And there was me thinking it applied to all second homes, not just British-owned ones.

Poor reporting by the DT. Headline grabbing - it applies to everybody.

[niemeyjt]

Of course it does. Sometimes I wonder why they do it though.

Of course it does. Sometimes I wonder why they do it though.

It seems like they want to encourage "French hating" at every possibility. I know a couple of 2nd home owners complaining about this hike - regardless of the fact that their income is such that it is still a drop in the ocean!

Ours has gone from €336 last year to €372

Compare that to the council tax we were paying on a 2 bed apartment in the UK - £1500+ and that was 7 years ago.

Mine went down from 538 euro to 468..........my head hurts.

You peeps with annual amounts of less than 500€, does that mean your ground floor m2 is less than a certain amount? We (living in the middle of rural area), in an old, crumbly farmhouse of 150m2 ground floor (plus some outbuildings and land) are paying about 1200€. Is there a table anywhere showing how much per m2?

I believe it's calculated as a percentage of a rentable value?

[glazedallover]

No idea Bayleaf, but my old longeur has 80 m2 on a plot of just under 1500m2. I thin you are correct on the rentable value.
