Checking your taxe foncière

[anotherbanana]

It may be that there are errors in your taxe foncière; the article suggests in the 60%s. The link below should give you a way to check if the tax is right or not.

I have not used or checked it yet but someone might be inspired?

It would appear that you have to pay for a service, could not find a price without filling in all the forms.

I’m probably missing something here, but I’ve always thought that everybody’s local tax was calculated on the basis of an identical set of percentages for a given Commune, applied to the valeur locative (in UK-speak, the rateable value) of one’s property.

I appreciate that there some caveats to that, where you get whole or partial exemption on the basis of age & low income, and (I believe) a surcharge if your property is a second home (that always seems rather unfair to me, but hey).

Therefore, the variable is the aforementioned valeur locative.   Many properties carry an artificially low vl, because the owners have ‘forgotten’ to declare a significant enhancement, typically a swimming pool.  I can think of two properties within 150m of here where forgetfulness has ruled !

Hopefully the move to re-assess nationally using Google Earth will address this issue, but it’ll take years.

Accordingly, I’m at a loss to understand how up to 60% of properties attract an incorrect assessment, but someone please correct me if I’m barking up the wrong tree.

The site that the banana linked to is a paid service.  I don't know where the 60% comes from either, unless it is Fiscallia themselves, fishing for more business? At 95 € a shot, no less!
