I have been renovating an old cottgae in France for the past 7 years and have been slowly transforming 4 crumbling walls into a decent little cottage. I got Certificate De Urbanism and then Permit de construir which was completed 2 years ago. I now am completing internal works and have been for the past 2 years without permit. (My French buddy tells me everything I'm doing is fine, and he's a builder). Problem is the more I've been thinking and reading the more I am sure that I need to pay Tax Foncier. But I have had no contact from anyone for years. I did move a few years ago but notified everyone (so I thought). I did pay a small tax the year after I bought it but that's it. The other day I wrote a letter to my Tresor Public asking for information. I don't know if I need to pay it or if I should have been paying it all along or if I (as I always assumed) pay it after the renovation. The more I read the more confused I get about the whole situation.
