The Connexion Tip: Taxe d'habitation
One of your local taxes, taxe d’habitation is only payable by the person living in the property on January 1.
If you move in on January 2 you will not be liable to pay it until the following year.
It is customary to split the other main local tax, taxe foncière, when you buy a property and pay your share of that year’s tax, however this is not done with taxe d’habitation .
