What are the Airbnb rules in Paris?
Paris allows short-term letting of a primary residence for a limited number of nights per calendar year, subject to registration with the city. Letting a secondary residence to tourists requires a change-of-use authorisation (changement d'usage), which in central Paris is generally subject to compensation requirements.
Who the rules apply to
Anyone letting furnished accommodation to short-staying guests in Paris. Primary residences — where you live at least the majority of the year — follow the annual night cap and registration regime. Secondary residences and properties held by companies fall under the stricter change-of-use rules. Co-ownership (copropriété) rules and lease terms can prohibit letting entirely.
What you must do to comply in Paris
- 01Establish whether the property is your primary or secondary residence — the two follow completely different regimes.
- 02Register the property with the City of Paris and display the registration number on every listing; platforms are required to show it.
- 03For a primary residence, monitor the annual night cap across all platforms combined and stop letting once it is reached.
- 04For a secondary residence, apply for changement d'usage before letting, and budget for the compensation obligation that applies in much of Paris.
- 05Check the copropriété regulations and your lease; many explicitly forbid short-term letting.
- 06Collect and remit the tourist tax (taxe de séjour) and declare rental income under the correct French tax regime.
Penalties for non-compliance
Letting without the required registration or change-of-use authorisation, or exceeding the night cap on a primary residence, can result in civil fines that run into tens of thousands of euros per property, enforced by the city. Platforms also remove non-compliant listings.
