Mirebeau, France Maintains Tax Rates, Approves Exemptions for Rural Revitalization

The Mirebeau Municipal Council in France convened on March 18, 2025, primarily to vote on the annual budget. The council decided to maintain the 2024 tax rates. The communal share of local taxes will only increase by 1.7%, aligning with the national revaluation. The adopted budget totals €3.43 million for operations, a 16.5% increase from 2024, and €2.66 million for investments, a 7% increase. Significant expenses include the completion of church renovations and the ongoing development of a multimodal transport hub. Planned operations include parking development (€370,000), a pathway between the town center and the socio-educational center (€445,000), and thermal renovation of the elementary school (€403,000). The council adopted tax exemptions allowed by the finance law under the France rurality revaluation zoning, specifically for property tax on housing acquired and improved for rental, as well as premises used for accommodation, furnished tourist rentals, and guest rooms.
