Short-Term Rentals in Paris, France: A Comprehensive Guide for Investors

Overview: Are short‑term rentals (STRs) allowed?

• Yes. Short‑term rentals (also called “furnished tourist rentals” or “meublés de tourisme”) are allowed in Paris, subject to registration and other rules.
• Key constraints in Paris include:
  • Registration with the city (mandatory for entire homes; not required for private rooms).
  • A 120‑night annual cap on entire‑home short‑term rentals in central Paris for your primary residence (90‑night cap can be set by the mayor from 2025).
  • For secondary homes: a “change of use” authorization is required, followed by city registration and a compensation payment to create housing stock.
  • A mandatory national registration system opens by May 20, 2026 (registration becomes universally required for all tourist furnished rentals).
  • Energy Performance Diagnostic (DPE) obligations ramp up starting in 2025; noncompliance exposes hosts to fines.
  • Reduced tax allowances apply to income earned from Jan 1, 2025 onward.

How to start a short‑term rental business in this market

• Step 1: Decide what you will rent
  • Private room: registration is not required in Paris, but you should still check HOA rules, insurance, and fire safety.
  • Entire home:
    • Primary residence: you may proceed to registration (Paris portal), then list. Do not exceed 120 nights/year (90 nights if the mayor exercises new authority from 2025).
    • Secondary residence: you must obtain “change of use” authorization (Paris city hall), then declare your rental activity (CERFA 14004), and finally register with the city for your 13‑digit registration number before listing.
• Step 2: Complete the Paris registration (teleservices portal)
  • Create an account, fill the declaration, and receive your 13‑digit registration number. Display this number on all platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, etc.).
  • For a secondary residence, obtain “change of use” approval first, then file the CERFA 14004 declaration, then register.
• Step 3: Comply with national rules
  • All hosts must register in the national online service by May 20, 2026 and provide their tax notice for the rental property address when requested. A declaration is required before renting any tourist furnished accommodation.
• Step 4: Prepare for energy performance (DPE)
  • New listings in “tense areas” applying for change of use must present a valid DPE:
    • A–E rating from Nov 21, 2024 to Dec 31, 2033.
    • A–D rating from Jan 1, 2034 onward.
  • Mayors can request a valid DPE at any time; failure to provide within two months triggers a €100/day administrative penalty. Renting without meeting DPE standards may lead to €5,000 fines.
• Step 5: Track nights and stay within limits
  • Use platform counters and your own records. From 2025, mayors can lower the primary‑residence cap to 90 days per year.
• Step 6: Tax and classification strategy
  • Decide whether to seek “classified furnished” status (higher allowable deductions but subject to stricter rules). New tax allowance rates apply to income received from Jan 1, 2025:
    • Classified and B&Bs: 50% allowance up to €77,700 (down from 71% up to €188,700).
    • Non‑classified: 30% allowance up to €15,000 (down from 50% up to €77,700).
• Step 7: Check co‑ownership (condominium) rules
  • As of 2025, co‑owners who rent furnished tourist accommodations must inform the trustee. Condominiums can now prohibit STRs with a two‑thirds vote (previously unanimity).

Required documents, permits, licenses, and guidelines

• Paris registration number (13‑digit) and display on listings.
• For entire homes in central Paris:
  • If primary residence: Paris registration; track the 120‑night cap (or 90 nights from 2025 if the mayor exercises authority).
  • If secondary residence: “change of use” authorization from Paris city hall; CERFA 14004 declaration of rental activity; then city registration and a compensation payment.
• National registration (by May 20, 2026) for all tourist furnished rentals; include your tax notice (avis d’imposition) with the property address as proof of primary residence if requested.
• Energy Performance Diagnostic (DPE): required for new listings in tense areas requesting change of use (rating thresholds escalate in 2025–2034).
• Proof of insurance and compliance with fire/safety norms (best practice).
• HOA/condominium by‑law compliance (as of 2025, co‑owners must inform the trustee; STRs can be prohibited by two‑thirds vote).
