Declaration and registration

Before the law: Town hall declaration for furnished tourist lets other than the owner's main home; a registration number only where the town had set one up.
Since the law: Registration extended to every town, main homes included, with a number to display on every listing. The law set the deadline at 20 May 2026.
In Chalon: In Chalon-sur-Saône the procedure goes through the town hall: check the current process on the town's website before publishing a listing.

Penalties

Before the law: Civil fines imposed by a judge at the town's request.
Since the law: Administrative fines imposed by the town: up to 10,000 € for failing to declare, up to 20,000 € for a false declaration or a fake number.
In Chalon: A valid registration number on every listing removes most of the risk.

Letting your main home

Before the law: No more than 120 nights a year as a furnished tourist let.
Since the law: Each town may lower that cap to 90 nights a year by council decision.
In Chalon: Before letting your main home, ask the town hall whether a council decision has lowered the cap.

Energy performance

Before the law: No energy rating requirement specific to furnished tourist lets.
Since the law: An energy rating (DPE) of A to D is required from 1 January 2034, unless the property is the owner's main home. The mayor may ask for the property's DPE.
In Chalon: In the town, 1,374 of the 14,104 assessments in the ADEME database are rated F or G. The ADEME figures.

Taxation (micro-BIC regime)

Before the law: Unclassified furnished tourist let: 50% standard deduction up to 77,700 € of receipts. Classified (star-rated): 71% up to 188,700 €.
Since the law: Unclassified: 30% deduction up to 15,000 € of receipts; above that, the actual-expenses regime applies. Classified: 50% up to 77,700 € (2025 receipts).
In Chalon: The ceiling for classified lets is revised every three years: check the current figure on impots.gouv.fr before filing.

Co-owned buildings

Before the law: Banning furnished tourist lets in practice required a unanimous vote of the co-owners.
Since the law: A building whose rules already ban commercial activity in the units may ban furnished tourist lets by a two-thirds majority.
In Chalon: Read the building's co-ownership rules before putting a flat on short-term let.
