the property tax will increase by 25% next fall

Already in the top 5 of the highest property taxes in France, Grenoble (Isère) will undergo a further increase of 25% next fall. Frédérique Gautier, owner of an apartment, does not lose her temper. She will have to pay 300 euros more per year for a 135 m2 apartment. This decision will raise 44 million euros. A measure of solidarity and social progress, according to the environmentalist mayor Eric Piolle. However, he admits:We would have preferred that this money come from the state and the taxation of superprofits.”

“The ecological transition, I am for”

In Grenoble, there are 38% of owners, including Marie Francoeur. The retiree says:If there is no more housing tax, they have to find the money somewhere. It will be the property tax that will pay. The ecological transition, I am for and the social advances, I have worked in the social sector all my career. […] So yes, I pay.” But the situation of the owners is diverse, warns Alain Carignon, an elected opposition member, who denounces poor management of the city.
