Yes it is for the refuse collection.

Some communes have started to split these costs out from Taxe d'Habitation - I guess yours is one.

Whether you are there 1 week or 52 weeks, the truck still passes the end of your garden and has to be manned as if you were there.

Sorry but reality has to strike occasionally.

Our taxe d'ordures ménagères has always formed part of our taxe foncière. The rubbish removal part has a line of its own on the bill.

Have you tried looking at your last foncière bill ? If the rubbish removal fee there bears any relation to the bill you have just received, then Bingo.

........... and ours is done completely differently!

It used to be a separate annual bill. Roughly E150 from memory. That was for a household of 2 adults - you paid proportionately more for 3+. All pretty fair.

All of a sudden, with no consultation, it was changed to being levied as a % of your valeur locative (basically rateable value) & collected through the taxe fonciere (or it might be taxe d'hab, can't remember).

Anyway, the upshot is that whilst we don't live in 'Le Chateau Gardian', our vl is above the commune average and accordingly we now pay nearly double what we used to pay.

Less than amused, but you have to shrug your shoulders.
