Departmental rates as of 1er juin 2026, source French public finances directorate. The final statement is drawn up by the notary handling the transaction.

Until the département is chosen, the calculation assumes a 5.00% departmental duty, the rate of most départements. 12 départements did not raise theirs, one of which remained at 3.80%. In those, the actual duties are lower than shown here.

Indicative estimate, for informational purposes only. This simulator is not a notarial deed and does not replace the advice of the notary handling the transaction. The increase of the departmental duty up to 5.00%, from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028 (2025 Finance Act, article 116), depends on each département's resolution, and first-time buyers of a primary residence are excluded from it. Only a practicing notary is authorized to produce a certified and binding calculation (ordinance of November 2, 1945). Briveo accepts no liability for a purchase decision based on this calculation alone. Schedule per French Tax Code art. 1594 D and departmental resolutions. Ask BRIVEO your question.
