🌊 Natural hazards

Hazards listed for the municipality:

A declaration recognises a state of natural disaster for a given event; it triggers the “natural disasters” cover of home insurance policies and of the building’s insurance. “Drought” declarations relate to the shrinking and swelling of clay soils, a frequent cause of cracks in buildings. A risk statement (état des risques) must in particular be attached to a sale or lease when the property lies in an area covered by a prevention plan, in seismic zone 2 to 5, or with a class 3 radon potential. This page presents municipal data: it does not replace the risk statement drawn up for the property’s address.

🧾 Property tax and local taxation

The overall rate adds the municipal share and the inter-municipal share. The tax due by an owner equals this rate applied to half of the home’s cadastral rental value, reduced where applicable by exemptions.
