Property tax in Levallois-Perret in 2026: the tax rises, the market falls

1. What is the property tax rate in Levallois-Perret?

Your property tax notice adds up several lines, but in Levallois-Perret the bulk of it comes down to one: the municipal share, at 22,93 %. That is the one voted by the city council, and it has not varied since at least 2021.

The second line you would expect, the inter-municipal one, is zero. Levallois-Perret belongs to the Métropole du Grand Paris and to a local public authority, but neither of those tiers levies property tax on built properties. It is a feature of the inner Paris suburbs, not found in the metropolitan areas of the regions.

To this are added a special facilities tax (0,22 of a point) and the household waste collection tax at 3,25 %, likewise unchanged since 2021. That level is moderate by the standards of the department: Asnières-sur-Seine is at 5,77 %, Colombes at 6,44 % and Clichy at 6,07 %.

2. How is your property tax calculated?

The mechanism comes in three steps. You start from the cadastral rental value of your home, meant to represent a theoretical annual rent. A flat-rate allowance of 50 % is applied to it to obtain the taxable base. That base is multiplied by the sum of the rates voted.

Two levers therefore move the bill: the rate, decided locally, and the base, revalued nationally. In Levallois the first has been frozen for five years. Everything that rises on your notice comes from the second.

3. How much do you pay, depending on your property?

The exact amount depends on the rental value of your home, and therefore on its floor area, its address, the period it was built and its condition. Here are indicative orders of magnitude on the municipal share alone, for profiles representative of the Levallois districts and their 2026 prices per square metre.

These estimates apply to the municipal share, excluding the household waste collection tax and excluding the second-home surcharge. They remain orders of magnitude: for the same floor area, two Levallois apartments can show very different bills depending on their original cadastral classification, often inherited from the 1970s.

5. Why does the tax rise when the market falls?

This is the Levallois particularity, and it is arithmetic before it is political. The annual revaluation of the bases follows the harmonised index of consumer prices: +7,1 % in 2023, +3,9 % in 2024, +1,7 % in 2025, +0,8 % for 2026. It applies everywhere, independently of any municipal decision.

The market, for its part, has followed the opposite path. At 9 126 €/m² on average for an apartment in 2026, on around 808 transactions a year, Levallois-Perret shows a fall of around 8 % over five years, after the high point of the Paris region market. A recovery has begun over twelve months (+2,7 %), but it has not closed the gap.

6. Why will the rate not come down?

This is the piece of context missing from most rate comparisons. A frozen rate is not necessarily the sign of a comfortable municipality: it can also reflect the political impossibility of raising it in a town where taxpayers are already heavily called upon.

The figures published by the Observatoire des finances et de la gestion publique locales leave no room for doubt. In 2024, Levallois-Perret is first of the 36 municipalities of the Hauts-de-Seine for debt per inhabitant, with a gap of 51 % over the second, Antony (2 695 € per inhabitant).

The trajectory is nonetheless going in the right direction. Outstanding debt per inhabitant has fallen from 5 387 € in 2018 to 4 069 € in 2024, a drop of around a quarter in six years. But as long as that level stays close to three times the departmental average, the room to lower the property tax rate is narrow: every point of rate given up is savings lost for repayment.

The political timetable does not change that equation. Agnès Pottier-Dumas, the outgoing mayor, was re-elected in the first round of the municipal elections of March 2026 with 51,68 % of the votes cast, on a turnout of 56,62 %. Stable rates, as recorded since 2021, are therefore the most likely assumption for the term now beginning, barring a contrary decision by the city council.

7. What impact on the value of your property?

Three effects are worth separating out.

1. A tax that does not push the town down the ranking. At an overall rate of 23,64 %, Levallois-Perret sits in the middle of the 36 municipalities of the Hauts-de-Seine: well above Neuilly-sur-Seine (15,06 %) and Courbevoie (17,29 %), well below Clichy (33,39 %) or Malakoff (36,20 %). A buyer comparing the northern loop of the Seine will not find there a reason to rule the town out.

2. A market that remains highly valued. At 9 126 €/m² on average, with a narrow gap between districts, from 8 000 €/m² at Eiffel to 9 755 €/m² at Barbusse, Levallois-Perret keeps one of the highest price levels in the inner Paris suburbs. Larger homes hold up best there: 4-room flats and above come out at 9 362 €/m², against 8 864 €/m² for 2-room flats.

3. A cost of ownership to build into the price. For a seller, good practice is simple: know the exact amount of your property tax and state it, rather than letting it be discovered at the end of the negotiation.
