You have to pay it.

Most people come to an arrangement with the buyers for them to make a contribution covering the period from when they move into the house.  Your notaire will advise.

This is the land and property tax, it is only payable by the owner of

the property and is payable by whoever owned the property on the 1st of

January each year - so if for example you purchased a French property

in February you may not receive the Taxe d'Habitation bill until the

following year. If you are renting a property in France you are not

liable to pay this Tax. The Taxe Foncieres is based on the rental value

of the property as assumed by the local authority. Some new or newly

restored properties are exempt from paying the Taxe Foncieres for the

first two years.
