Letting a property? The procedure changed in 2026.
Since 1 January 2026, Narbonne has required landlords in designated areas to file a declaration within 15 days of signing the tenancy agreement. The previous prior-authorisation procedure no longer applies here.
Holiday letting, tourist tax and resale.
HOLIDAY LETTING
A tenancy declaration does not cover Airbnb.
The letting procedure introduced in 2026 excludes holiday stays. If you are hosting visitors, check separately with the council whether registration or authorisation for a change of use is required.
