Short-term rental rules in Paris
Legal regime
Regulated: primary residence properties are capped at 120 nights per year under Article L. 324-1-1 of the Code du tourisme, as amended by Loi n° 2024-1039 of 19 November 2024 (Loi Le Meur). Mandatory pre-registration with the municipality required; 13-character registration number must appear on all listings. Operators must collect taxe de séjour (tourist tax) from guests and remit to the Paris municipality (or the booking platform collects and remits on the operator's behalf); an Île-de-France regional surtax (taxe additionnelle) also applies on top of the Paris base rate (rates not independently confirmed from primary source accessed). Since 19 November 2024, co-ownership (copropriété) bylaws must explicitly authorize short-term rental use. Municipalities may reduce the annual primary-residence cap to a minimum of 90 nights by reasoned resolution, effective 1 January 2025. A national mandatory digital pre-registration platform for all STR operators was required by law to be in place no later than 20 May 2026 (deadline now passed as of this verification; verify current access procedure via service-public.gouv.fr or the relevant municipal portal). Energy performance (DPE, class A–E) standards required upon municipal request; from 1 January 2034, only classes A through D will be permitted (classes E, F, and G will be prohibited from that date).

License process
Pre-register via the national STR digital platform (mandatory per Loi Le Meur; statutory launch deadline was 20 May 2026, now passed — verify current access procedure via service-public.gouv.fr or the relevant municipal portal) and file declaration via the Paris city portal (paris.fr). Submit proof of primary residence status. Energy performance certificate (Diagnostic de Performance Énergétique, DPE, rating A–E in mainland France) required upon municipal request; failure to provide within two months incurs an administrative daily fine (astreinte administrative) of €100 per day (Article L. 324-2-2 of the Code du tourisme as amended by Loi 2024-1039). Properties rated E, F, or G will be prohibited from STR from 1 January 2034 (only classes A through D permitted from that date). Receive 13-character registration number, which must be displayed on all rental listings and advertisements. Co-ownership buildings must have bylaws explicitly authorizing STR use. Maximum consecutive rental to the same tenant: 90 days per calendar year. Administrative fines: up to €10,000 for operating without registration; up to €20,000 for false declarations; up to €100,000 plus daily astreinte of €1,000/m² for unauthorized change of use.
