Taxe de séjour

The city of Nîmes has introduced a tourist tax throughout its territory to help finance the development of tourism.

This applies to all paid accommodation, including that offered by private individuals, even on an occasional basis. As an accommodation provider, you must make a prior declaration to the mayor. This declaration can now be made online via the Declaloc platform.

On completion of your declaration, you will be assigned a unique accommodation number, which you can use to register your accommodation on online platforms, or to rent out directly.

Registration (prior declaration) of a furnished holiday home

Anyone offering a furnished tourist accommodation property for rent, whether classified or not, must first register it with the mayor of the commune where the property is located.

Since January 1, 2018, prior registration of furnished tourist accommodation in Nîmes, whether or not located in the renter's principal residence, has become mandatory.

The information required for the registration of furnished tourist accommodation includes :

- main address of the property,
