• Flood risk is listed: check the risk statement for the property and, if there is one, the prevention plan attached to the local urban plan.
• Before buying into a co-ownership: ask for the minutes of the last three general meetings, the maintenance log, the amount of the works fund and the state of unpaid charges.

💶 Prices and rents: how they have changed

43 listings observed. Estimate calculated across a group of neighbouring municipalities, less precise than a municipal estimate. These are advertised rents, service charges included: they are higher than the rents of existing leases. The estimation method was revised in 2022: only the 2022 and later editions, which are comparable with each other, are shown.

👥 Household incomes

Tax statistics from the DGFiP: income for 2024, declared the following year. The reference taxable income is an average: very sensitive to high incomes, it is not a substitute for a median income. The incomes are those of the tax households living in the municipality, not only those of co-owners.

🌊 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.
