Real estate owners, it has been almost six weeks since you received your notice of property tax for the year 2025. Time to forget your payment deadline ! But this is fast approaching. If you have not opted for the monthly payment of this local tax, you must pay it no later than October 15 or October 20, depending on your payment method. Which one depends on the amount of your property tax. Dematerialized payment is in fact compulsory from 300 euros, for property tax as for all other personal taxes. However, in the case of payment online, on the site or the impots.gouv application, you have until October 20 2025 at midnight to pay your property tax.

Who therefore pays less than 300 euros in property tax, based on their blast in recent years?
