Property tax in Vitry-sur-Seine in 2026: two rises, then a rate frozen under debt constraints

1. What is the property tax rate in Vitry-sur-Seine in 2026?

On the Vitry notice, the municipal share alone represents more than 80 % of the amount due.

The household waste collection tax has also risen, from 7,35 % in 2021 to 7,87 % since 2023. It remains below the Val-de-Marne median of 8,03 %.

2. By how much has property tax risen since 2021?

The timing of the two rises is key to understanding your notice.

The 2023 rise coincided with the record revaluation of 7,1 %. For an owner, the two effects multiplied: the municipal contribution for the same home rose by around 16,7 % between the 2022 and 2023 notices, without any change to the property.

The town had presented the 2023 rise, identical for built and unbuilt property, as a response to the complete disappearance that year of the residence tax on main residences. The residence tax rate, which now only applies to second homes and vacant homes, followed the same movement, from 21,32 % to 23,24 %.

Over time, the weight of the decision accumulates. Taking only the gap in municipal rate with 2021, an owner paid the equivalent of 17,99 % of their base in addition between 2022 and 2026, assuming an unchanged 2026 rate.

3. Why can the town not bring its rate back down?

Property tax has become the main pillar of municipal revenue. The 2026 budget orientation report traces its growing weight over the previous term of office.

In three years, local tax revenue rose by 23,6 %. The document also points out that State grants have fallen by 2,8 M€, that is 7,7 %, since 2014, and that operating expenditure has grown faster than revenue over ten years.

On the debt side, the outstanding amount has been stable since 2020 at around 160 M€, for annual capital repayments close to 14,5 M€ and an average interest rate of 2,32 %. Per inhabitant, it amounts to 1 658 €, below the average of 1 714 € for mainland French municipalities of the same size. The problem is therefore not the level of debt, but the weakness of the savings that repay it.

Pierre Bell-Lloch, mayor since 2021, was re-elected on 22 March 2026. His united left list won 46,68 % of the votes cast in the second round and 39 seats out of 53, with a turnout of 41,71 % (French Ministry of the Interior). The first full budget of the new term of office will be that of 2027.

4. Is Vitry taxed more than its neighbours?

The Val-de-Marne taxes significantly more than the Hauts-de-Seine, and is one of the départements with the highest municipal rates in Île-de-France: its municipal median, 36,64 %, exceeds that of its western neighbour by more than 11 points. Vitry sits in the upper half.

The median municipality of the département levies 45,38 % of the base, household waste included: Vitry is only 0,89 point above. The real gap is geographical. An owner in Thiais, a few kilometres away, pays around 19 % less on an identical base. At national level, the municipal median stands at 35,34 %.

5. Simulator: what the rises cost on your notice

With a base of 2 500 €, the bill comes to around 1 157 €, against 1 036 € at the 2021 rates, that is 121 € more each year, of which 106 € for the municipal share alone. Cumulated from 2022 to 2026, the gap in municipal rate reaches around 450 €.

6. How much do you pay, profile by profile?

The amounts below are orders of magnitude built from standard profiles anchored in real neighbourhoods of Vitry-sur-Seine and in the prices per m² from our processing of DVF transactions, the French notarised sales database. The tax bases used, 42 € per m² for a flat and 48 € for a house, are average assumptions.

The house profile concentrates what is at stake. Vitry-sur-Seine has 18,4 % houses in its stock of 41 651 homes, a high proportion for a municipality of the inner ring around Paris (INSEE, the French statistics institute, 2023 census). A 100 m² detached house there pays more than two and a half times the tax of a 2-room flat.

Owner-occupiers account for 35,3 % of the 38 955 main residences, against 62,3 % tenants, of whom 35,0 % live in social housing. A significant share of property tax is therefore paid by landlords, who pass it on to their yield.

7. What do non-occupying owners pay?

The 60 % surcharge is new in 2025 in Vitry-sur-Seine: it was not applied in previous years. It comes on top of the 9 % rise in the residence tax rate voted in 2023. For a second home with a residence tax base of 4 000 €, the municipal residence tax goes from around 930 € to around 1 490 € with the surcharge.

The revenue remains limited. The municipality has only 602 second homes, that is 1,4 % of its stock, and 2 095 vacant homes, that is 5,0 % (INSEE, 2023 census). The measure aims primarily to bring homes back onto the main residence market.

8. What effect on the value of your property in Vitry?

The Vitry market peaked at 4 382 €/m² in 2021, the year the property tax rate rises began, then fell to 3 954 €/m² in 2025 before stabilising (Immover processing, DVF data). The gaps between neighbourhoods are marked, from around 3 438 €/m² in Le Moulin Vert to nearly 4 534 €/m² in Port-à-l'Anglais.

On a 65 m² 3-room flat in Port-à-l'Anglais, valued at around 295 000 €, a property tax of 1 265 € represents 0,43 % of the value a year. For a home of the same size in Nanterre, the ratio falls to around 0,24 %. See our article on property tax in Nanterre.

This gap weighs on rental yield. The advertised rent for a flat reaches 20,80 €/m² per month in Vitry-sur-Seine (2025 rent map, French Ministry of Housing), that is a gross yield close to 6,2 % at the average price, of which property tax absorbs nearly 8 %. Areas undergoing redevelopment, such as Les Ardoines, cannot be read like the rest of the town: an estimate at neighbourhood level remains indispensable.
