Request change notifications — Paris

Notice. Renting a secondary residence short-term requires separate 'changement d'usage' authorisation from the city — in Paris, Lyon and Bordeaux this can require compensation of €300–500/m² and is often impossible to obtain in practice.

What this means for you

  1. Hosting is possible, zone decides. Verify the exact address against the zoning map before committing — the same street can fall on either side of the line.
  2. Count your nights. The annual cap is 90 nights — platforms increasingly block calendars beyond municipal caps.
  3. Number on every listing. Since 20 May 2026 platforms verify registration numbers and must remove listings without one — this is the enforcement lever that finally works.

What applies locally

1Primary residences: capped at 90 nights of tourist rental per calendar year under the Loi Le Meur (reduced from a previous 120-night benchmark).
2Secondary residences require 'changement d'usage' authorisation from the city, with compensation costing €300–500/m² in central arrondissements (typically €15,000–25,000 for a 30 sqm studio) — often impossible to obtain in Paris, Lyon and Bordeaux.
3Registration number (13 digits, starting with the property's INSEE code) must appear on every listing.

How to register — the national layer (France)

  1. Register via the national Declaloc portal (mandatory nationwide from 20 May 2026); the 13-digit number starts with the INSEE code of the city.
  2. If the property is a secondary residence, apply separately for 'changement d'usage' with the local municipality before any registration — this is the binding constraint, not the national number.
  3. Display the registration number on every listing on every platform.
  4. Check the local night cap: 90 nights/year for a primary residence in Paris under the Loi Le Meur — other cities may set different limits.

Frequently asked

Can I get a new short-term rental licence in Paris?

Conditionally. Availability depends on the zone and property type — check the zone before any investment decision.

Is there a night cap in Paris?

Yes — 90 nights per year, with zone-dependent rules on top.

Do I need a registration number on my listing?

Yes. France operates Declaloc — national tele-service (Loi Le Meur) (being rolled out), and under EU Regulation 2024/1028 platforms must verify and display the number — listings without one face removal.

What fines apply in Paris?

Fines reach €50,000, and platforms must delist non-compliant listings — the loss of income usually outweighs the fine.
