France Local Tax Rates by Town: Property Tax, CFE, TEOM

Get the official local tax rates of every French town (about 35,000 communes) straight from the French tax administration (DGFiP) open data:

• Taxe foncière on built property (global rate = town + intercommunality + special taxes), with the town and intercommunality parts
• Taxe foncière non bâtie (land)
• TEOM household waste collection tax
• Taxe d'habitation on second homes, and whether the town applies the second-home surcharge (majoration, up to +60 %)
• CFE business property tax (cotisation foncière des entreprises), including business-zone and wind-turbine rates
• History since 2021, change over 1 year and since 2021, median of the department, rank of the town in its department and national median

No scraping, no account, no API key: the data comes from the official DGFiP datasets published on data.economie.gouv.fr.

A final run summary row gives the tax year, counts, unknown towns or postal codes and the source date (not charged).

Rates are in percent of the cadastral rental value (valeur locative cadastrale), as voted for the tax year. The amount of tax actually paid also depends on each property's cadastral value, which is not part of this public dataset.

Pricing

$0.002 per town delivered (pay per event). A whole department typically costs $0.50 to $2; all of France about $70. The summary row and filtered-out towns are free. Use maxItems and your run cost limit to control the budget.
