In Aveyron, in which municipalities are the biggest variations in property tax observed for 2024? ?
|La Ville de Millau n’a pas voté de hausse de son taux pour la taxe foncière qui reste haut (52,09 %). MIDI LIBRE
In 2024, the property tax increases by 3.9%, less than the increase in 2023 (7.1%). In Aveyron, the vast majority of municipalities have decided not to vote for an increase in rates. Including Millau.
The 32 million French people who are property owners discover the amount of their property tax and the increase voted or not by their municipal council. After the peak in the increase in rental value – which accounts for half of the tax – by 7.1% in 2023, "we have never seen this for thirty-seven years", says Guy Laurens, the head of UNPI 12, Bercy increased it this year by 3.9%.
6 0~p>This increase in rental value (theoretical rent generated by the property if it were rented), indexed to inflation, mechanically increases the tax in almost all municipalities. The other half of the tax depends on the rate set by each municipality. And possibly on another increase voted on by the inter-municipalities.
“I find that Aveyron is reasonable”
With one observation, the property tax is still on the rise.“Continuously. In ten years, at the national level, between 2011 and 2021, this represented a +24.9% increase. In five years, between 2011 and 2016, it was 9.4%. Already, 2022 was a dark year for owners in the 200 largest cities. In just one year, there was an increase of 4.7%, almost half of the increase that was spread over five years, according to the National Union of Property Owners (UNPI), a 1901 law association that works to defend owner-occupiers and landlords.
Fayet, Saint-Jean-du-Bruel and Comprégnac on the rise
In 2024, 82% of municipalities maintained their rate of 2023. “I find that Aveyron is reasonable compared to the municipal rate, analyses Guy Laurens. The municipalities are playing the game.” In Aveyron, for 2024, in the top 5 of the biggest increases, we find three municipalities of South Aveyron. Fayet climbs to the top step of the podium with an increase of 7.78% (the built property tax going from 29.69% to 32%). It is followed by Saint-Jean-du-Bruel, with an increase of 6.81% (the municipal rate goes from 29.38% to 31.38%). Comprégnac completes the top three with +6.74% increase (+47.54%).
How it works
Property tax (built property, non-built property, and household waste collection) is a tax based on inflation. It concerns owners, is paid for the year in the municipality where the taxable property is located, according to the situation on January 1 of the tax year. It is calculated on the basis of cadastral rental values. Since 2019, the State has set the revaluation coefficient. Logically, the revaluation is greater during periods of inflation. In view of the price increase in 2021, the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee) had estimated that the property tax for 2022 would be around +3%. The DGFiP had finally set it at +3.4%.
On the same logic, in view of an inflation estimated at +6% in 2022, the specialists were counting on a 6 to 7% increase in the property tax for 2023. An estimate that ultimately proved correct with a rate of 7.1%.
On the contrary, Condom-d'Aubrac records a decrease of 9.07% in 2024 (from 33.06% to 30.06%), followed by Lacroix-Barrez (from 30.96% to 28.34%) and Thérondels (from 35.47% to 32.47%). However, the municipalities where the municipal rate in the department remains the lowest are Prades-d'Aubrac (23.46%), Mayran (24%) and Ayssènes (24.2%). Rodez is playing it safe and maintaining its 2023 rate on built land (48.18%).
Millau is maintaining its rate
The same goes for Millau, which has not voted for an increase. On the other hand, the city of gloves is at the top of the 285 municipalities of Aveyron (52.09%). Onet-le-Château, the third largest city in the department, is also not budging and is maintaining a rate of 45.98% on built land in 2024. Stability is also required in Villefranche-de-Rouergue (42.07%). Decazeville also remains at 47.38%.
Figures which, despite a contained increase, reveal a contrasting tax landscape. On May 22, Jean-Marc Calvet, president of the Association of Mayors of Aveyron explained that “local taxes are less and less local. A significant portion of the municipal property tax paid by Aveyronnais goes to feed the budget of other municipalities outside our department…”
