The municipal rate in Asnières-sur-Seine has been frozen at 19,50 % since 2021, and the inter-municipal line on your notice is at zero. Yet your bill is rising. Two lines are responsible, including a household waste tax at 5,77 % that accounts for close to a quarter of what you pay, and which the Conseil d'État has just weakened.
Illustration : Property tax in Asnières-sur-Seine in 2026: the rate does not move, your notice does.
The municipal property tax rate in Asnières-sur-Seine has not moved by a hundredth in five years: 19,50 % in 2021, 19,50 % in 2025. The "inter-municipal" line on your notice, meanwhile, is at zero, a feature of the inner Paris suburbs that few owners know about. And yet your bill rises every year. Two lines are responsible, and neither of them is decided by the town council: the national revaluation of the tax bases, and above all a household waste collection tax at 5,77 % that accounts for close to a quarter of what you pay. That last one has just been weakened in law by the Conseil d'État, the French supreme administrative court. Here is how to read your notice line by line.
The municipal share, voted by the town council, is 19,50 %. The overall rate applied to your property stands at 20,21 %, the difference coming solely from special regional levies and the GEMAPI levy. To that is added the household waste collection tax, at 5,77 %, on a separate line. Source: DGFiP, local taxation of individuals, 2025 financial year.
An Asnières property tax notice reads on two levels. First an overall rate on built property, then a household waste line that does not enter that overall rate but appears on the same document.
Here is the official breakdown published by the DGFiP for the 2025 financial year.
| Recipient | Rate 2025 | Who votes it |
|---|---|---|
| Municipality of Asnières-sur-Seine | 19,50 % | The town council |
| Inter-municipal bodies (Métropole du Grand Paris, Boucle Nord de Seine territory) | 0 % | No share levied on built property |
| Special infrastructure levies | 0,221 % | Recipient public bodies |
| Other special levies | 0,156 % | Recipient public bodies |
| Annual special additional levy (Île-de-France) | 0,189 % | Region |
| GEMAPI (aquatic environments and flood prevention) | 0,143 % | Métropole du Grand Paris |
| Overall rate applied to your property | 20,21 % | Sum of the shares above |
To that is added the household waste collection tax at 5,77 %, levied not by the municipality but by the Boucle Nord de Seine territory. Added to the overall rate, it brings the real levy on your tax base to 25,98 %.
The municipal share accounts for 96,5 % of the overall rate on built property (19,50 out of 20,21). Measured against the total levy including household waste, it accounts for no more than 75 %. That is where the real reading of your Asnières notice lies: a quarter of what you pay does not depend on the rate voted by your town hall.
Because the Métropole du Grand Paris collects neither property tax on built property nor property tax on land: it levies the business property contribution and the GEMAPI levy. The Boucle Nord de Seine territory, which Asnières belongs to along with six other municipalities, does not levy a share on built property either. The result: the inter-municipal line on an Asnières notice is at zero, which is not the case in the outer suburbs. Source: DGFiP, 2025 financial year, and tax doctrine published in the BOFiP official bulletin.
It is a tax peculiarity of the inner Paris suburbs, and it explains a good part of the gap between Asnières and a provincial town of comparable size.
Elsewhere in France, a group of municipalities votes its own share of property tax, which is added to the municipal share. In Valence, that inter-municipal share represents close to 4 points of rate. In Asnières, it does not exist.
The architecture is different: the Métropole du Grand Paris, created on 1 January 2016, brings together 130 municipalities spread across eleven territorial public bodies. The funding of the metropolitan and territorial responsibilities rests on business taxation and on transfers, not on household property tax.
The practical consequence: on an Asnières notice, the only authority that really decides the rate on built property is the municipality. The remaining 0,71 point consists of uniform regional and metropolitan levies, identical in Paris and in Gennevilliers.
No. The municipal share has stayed at 19,50 % every year from 2021 to 2025, across the whole record published by the DGFiP. The overall rate has varied by thirteen hundredths of a point over five years, under the effect of the regional levies and the GEMAPI levy, never of a municipal decision.

Stability is complete on the share the town votes. It is not on the rest.
| Financial year | Municipal share | GEMAPI | Overall rate | Waste tax |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 19,50 % | 0,009 % | 20,13 % | 5,77 % |
| 2022 | 19,50 % | 0,009 % | 20,08 % | 5,77 % |
| 2023 | 19,50 % | 0,072 % | 20,15 % | 5,77 % |
| 2024 | 19,50 % | 0,106 % | 20,19 % | 5,77 % |
| 2025 | 19,50 % | 0,143 % | 20,21 % | 5,77 % |
One figure deserves to be singled out: the GEMAPI levy has been multiplied by close to sixteen in four years, from 0,009 % in 2021 to 0,143 % in 2025. Its weight on a bill remains marginal, but it is the only component growing fast, and it is voted by the Métropole, not by the town.
The political context is consistent with that policy of freeze. Manuel Aeschlimann (Les Républicains), the outgoing mayor, was re-elected in the first round of the municipal elections of 15 March 2026, with 66,51 % of the votes cast, in a ballot marked by 45,71 % abstention. Not raising the rates is a constant theme of his municipal communication.
One point needs qualifying on an argument often repeated locally, that of "the lowest property tax in the Hauts-de-Seine". In rate terms, it is inaccurate: Courbevoie shows a municipal share of 16,58 % in 2025, against 19,50 % in Asnières. In average amount per resident, the Asnières position is indeed low, because the cadastral bases there are more modest than in the most expensive towns of the department. The two statements do not measure the same thing, and only the second holds. It is the same pitfall as comparing a municipal rate with an overall rate: the quantity compared must be identical on both sides.
For a 3 room flat of 68 m² in Bécon, reckon on an order of magnitude of 855 € a year, of which around 665 € of property tax and 190 € of household waste tax. The exact amount depends on the cadastral rental value of your home, therefore on its floor area, its address and its comfort features, never on its market price.
A reminder before the figures, because it shapes the whole reading: property tax is not calculated on the market value of your property. It rests on its cadastral rental value, an administrative value set on the criteria of 1970 and revalued every year.
In Asnières, where the average apartment price reaches 6 196 €/m² in 2026, the gap between market value and cadastral value is considerable. Two apartments sold at the same price may carry very different taxes depending on their year of construction and their declared comfort features.
| Profile | Annual total (order of magnitude) | Of which property tax | Of which household waste |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio 28 m² in Les Hauts d'Asnières | ~ 390 € | ~ 305 € | ~ 85 € |
| 2 rooms 45 m² in Les Grésillons | ~ 600 € | ~ 465 € | ~ 135 € |
| 3 rooms 68 m² in Bécon | ~ 855 € | ~ 665 € | ~ 190 € |
| House 110 m² in Le Centre | ~ 1 350 € | ~ 1 050 € | ~ 300 € |
These orders of magnitude place real profiles in real districts, from the most affordable (Les Hauts d'Asnières, 4 145 €/m²) to the most sought after (Le Centre, 6 615 €/m²), in a market whose apartment average stands at 6 196 €/m² in 2026.

One point often escapes second-home owners: since 2023 Asnières has applied the maximum increase of 60 % of the residence tax on second homes. The town has not raised its property tax, but it has pulled that lever at the ceiling rate. Source: DGFiP, financial years 2023 to 2025.
Enter the total amount of your 2026 notice, household waste included. The simulator splits it according to the rates actually voted in Asnières: 19,50 % for the municipality, 0,71 point of special and regional levies and GEMAPI, 5,77 % for household waste. The waste tax share represents 22 % of the total.
Because the Conseil d'État, in a ruling of 8 April 2026, imposed a stricter review of household waste tax rates voted by zone. The Boucle Nord de Seine territory, which has levied the waste tax in place of Asnières since 2018, applies precisely such a rate differentiated by municipality. The court must now check zone by zone that the rate is not manifestly disproportionate to the service provided.
You first have to understand who levies what.
Since 1 January 2018, it is no longer Asnières that sets and collects the household waste collection tax, but the Boucle Nord de Seine territory, in substitution for six of its member municipalities. That territory brings together seven municipalities: Argenteuil, Asnières-sur-Seine, Bois-Colombes, Clichy, Colombes, Gennevilliers and Villeneuve-la-Garenne.
The territory has defined six collection zones, each matching the perimeter of one municipality, which lets it vote different rates from one town to another. That is the arrangement the Conseil d'État examined.
The principle governing the waste tax is long established: its yield must not be manifestly disproportionate to the cost of the service provided. It is an earmarked tax, not a revenue-raising one.
The April 2026 ruling adds a layer to that review. Beyond the overall check across all the zones, the court must now make sure that each zone taken on its own respects that proportionality. The case concerned the Bois-Colombes zone, whose rate was 4,87 %.
For an Asnières owner, the interest of that ruling is concrete. With a rate of 5,77 %, Asnières carries one of the highest waste tax rates in the area, three times that of Courbevoie (1,88 %), for a collection service that has no obvious reason to cost three times more. A taxpayer challenging their waste tax can now argue disproportion in their own zone alone, without the territory being able to hide behind the overall balance of the service. We are not claiming that the Asnières rate is irregular: that depends on the accounts of the service, which we do not have. But the route to a challenge has just been widened, and the claim period runs until 31 December of the year following the assessment. It is the kind of window better known before it closes.
Because property tax is the product of a rate and a base, and in Asnières only the base moves. Cadastral rental values are revalued every year at national level: +0,8 % in 2026, after +1,7 % in 2025, +3,9 % in 2024 and +7,1 % in 2023. Source: flat-rate coefficient indexed to the harmonised consumer price index published by INSEE, the French national statistics institute.
A frozen rate does not produce a frozen bill. It is the most widespread misunderstanding, and it is structural.
The revaluation follows the harmonised consumer price index recorded in November of the previous year. For 2026, the coefficient stands at 1,008, that is +0,8 %. It is the smallest increase since 2022, and close to half that of 2025.
The cumulative effect remains heavy nonetheless: between 2023 and 2026, your Asnières bases have risen by around 14 %, without any decision by the town council.
A second change was expected and is worth knowing about, because it has been suspended. The tax administration had launched a campaign to bring comfort features into the rental values: running water, electricity, sanitary facilities, a shower or a bath, heating, never declared since the 1970s on part of the housing stock. Around 7,4 million homes were concerned.
The Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced its suspension on 26 November 2025, in favour of consultation with local authorities and members of parliament opened in the spring of 2026, with a progress report expected in May or June. No adjustment on that account is due to appear on the notices of autumn 2026.
The subject is suspended, not buried. In an Asnières housing stock where a significant share of homes dates from before 1970, a resumption of that campaign would weigh more than several years of flat-rate revaluation. We will update this article once the consultation is complete.
Small, and rather favourable. At an apartment average of 6 196 €/m² in 2026, a 3 room flat in Asnières is worth in the order of 420 000 € for a property tax of around 855 € a year, that is 0,2 % of its value. It is one of the lowest ratios in the inner Paris suburbs. What makes value here is the closeness of Paris and the transport links, not taxation.
Three effects deserve to be distinguished.
1. A low relative weight. It is the opposite of what is seen in affordable markets. Since property tax rests on a cadastral value fixed on the criteria of 1970, it does not follow the rise of the market. In Asnières, where prices have risen sharply over two decades, the gap between the two works in the owner's favour.
2. A real selling point. A buyer comparing Asnières with Clichy or Gennevilliers, neighbouring towns in the same territory, finds a gap of more than 13 points of overall rate on built property. Over a holding period of ten years, that represents several thousand euros. It is an argument rarely put forward in a listing, and one that can be checked in thirty seconds.
3. A point to watch for a landlord. An investor thinks in net terms. The overall rate is low, but the waste tax is not, and it is only partly recoverable from the tenant depending on the nature of the charges. That has to be built into the yield calculation before buying.
Before any decision, the useful figure is not the town average but the value of your property at its address. Our valuation draws on the transactions actually recorded in Asnières-sur-Seine.
To compare with other tax arrangements, you can read our analysis of property tax in Paris and that of property tax in Valence, where the inter-municipal share does exist. Three territories, three different tax architectures.
The municipal share, voted by the town council, is 19,50 %. The overall rate applied to your property stands at 20,21 %, the difference coming solely from special infrastructure levies, the additional regional levy for the Île-de-France and the GEMAPI flood-management levy. The household waste collection tax, at 5,77 %, is added on a separate line, bringing the total levy to 25,98 % of your tax base. Source: DGFiP, the French public finances directorate, 2025 financial year.
Because the Métropole du Grand Paris collects neither property tax on built property nor property tax on land: it levies the business property contribution and the GEMAPI levy. The Boucle Nord de Seine territory, which Asnières belongs to along with six other municipalities, does not levy a share on built property either. It is a feature of the inner Paris suburbs, not found in the outer suburbs or in the provinces.
No, as far as the municipal rate is concerned. It has stayed at 19,50 % every year from 2021 to 2025, across the whole record published by the DGFiP. The overall rate has varied by only thirteen hundredths of a point over five years, under the effect of the regional levies and the GEMAPI levy, and not of a municipal decision. Your bill, on the other hand, rises through the national revaluation of the bases.
It represents 22 % of the total of your notice. With a rate of 5,77 % added to an overall rate on built property of 20,21 %, the waste tax absorbs close to a quarter of what you pay. That is three times the rate in Courbevoie, which is at 1,88 %. This tax is not levied by the municipality but by the Boucle Nord de Seine territory, which took over from its member municipalities on 1 January 2018.
The Conseil d'État, the French supreme administrative court, issued a ruling on 8 April 2026 on the household waste tax voted by zone across the Boucle Nord de Seine territory. It imposes a double proportionality review: beyond the overall check, the court must make sure that the rate of each zone taken on its own is not manifestly disproportionate to the service provided locally. The route to a challenge is thereby widened. The claim period runs until 31 December of the year following the assessment.
Because property tax is the product of a rate and a base. In Asnières, only the base moves: cadastral rental values are revalued every year at national level, by +0,8 % in 2026, after +1,7 % in 2025, +3,9 % in 2024 and +7,1 % in 2023. The cumulative effect since 2023 approaches 14 %, without any decision by the town council.
No, if you reason in rates. Courbevoie shows a municipal share of 16,58 % in 2025, against 19,50 % in Asnières, and Asnières ranks among the six lowest rates of the 36 municipalities of the department, not first. The statement does hold, however, on the average amount per resident, lower in Asnières because the cadastral bases there are more modest than in the most expensive towns of the department. The two measures do not say the same thing.
Yes. Since 2023 the municipality has applied the increase of 60 % of the residence tax on second homes, that is the maximum rate allowed. It has not raised its property tax over the period, but it has pulled that lever to the full. Source: DGFiP, financial years 2023 to 2025.
