Default Tax fonciere

Hello Damien,
A new build is exempt from tax fonciere for 2 years although there may be a small charge for something or other (don't know what - a French mystery) of about 26 euros per year. Around the time of completion you should have received a form which you fill in detailing all the facilities, number of rooms, size of property, fosse etc and this will be used to make the future calculation. As soon as you have anything else add (i.e. we had a pool) they send another form for you to update them (don't worry they know what you have had done and will get in touch with you). Then you just wait for them to send you the first billing in two years. As the previous reply stated the cost depends on how big and luxurious your house is.
Whatever the cost it can't be more than the ?1200 pa we were paying in council tax a year ago.
Thanks
