Nice has been implementing the regulations adopted by the metropolitan council on June 22 since September 1, 2026. Outside of Paris, it is the strictest system in France, and it boils down to a few figures. Maximum of 691 authorizations for the entire city, representing 0.9 % of the housing in the affected areas, distributed across four sectors: Old Nice, Riquier-Port-Mont Boron, the City Center, and the West.
These authorizations are issued first come, first served, without a waiting list, and applications can only be submitted until December 31, 2026. The investigation lasts four months, and silence from the administration constitutes a refusal. Only one authorization per owner and per tax household, valid five years, non-renewable, attached to the person and not to the accommodation.
Specifically: if you own a secondary residence in Nice and are planning to rent it out, the window is closing in a few weeks. After December 31, you will have to wait for the next campaign, with no guarantee regarding quotas.
The file requires a energy performance diagnosis rated A to E, less than ten years old, which will have to be rated A to D from 2034. Beyond the first authorization, or as of the second housing unit, the regime of compensation applies: a housing unit returned to the housing market for a converted housing unit. Companies whose core business is this are subject to it from the very first request.
Note that, because many people get it wrong: the registration number is distinct from the authorization of change of use, and is obtained after it. A primary residence, on the other hand, can be rented up to 120 days per year without authorization, limit raised from 90 to 120 days on September 1, 2026. The declaration procedures are detailed in our article on the declaration of a seasonal rental.
Despite this regulatory framework, Nice remains the largest market on the Côte d'Azur. The metropolitan tourist office recorded 2.4 million tourist accommodation nights in 2025, up by 4 %, with an average length of stay of 4.1 nights, and approximately 30,000 furnished rentals in the Metropolis. The airport, the second largest in France, welcomed more than 15 million passengers in 2025, and the tramway connects the airport to the port in 26 minutes. The city has 240,935 dwellings, including 33,235 secondary residences.
We manage properties across the city's six districts: Historic Nice including Old Nice, the Port and Mont Boron, Heart of Nice with the Golden Square and Musicians' Quarter, West Nice, the Paillon Riverbanks, the Heights of Nice and the Nice Hills. The four quota-regulated zones are concentrated in the center and along the seafront: that is where authorization is at stake, and that is where we support the highest number of owners.
It is collected by the Nice Côte d'Azur Metropolis for its 51 municipalities and paid over to the Tourist Office. For classified furnished accommodation, the rate ranges from €1.07 for one star to €4.69 for five stars, per person and per night, including a 34 % railway surtax. For a For unclassified furnished accommodation, it is 6.70 % of the nightly rate per person, capped at 6.43 •. Niçois specialty: declaration and payment are made every four months, even if you haven't rented anything. This is a frequent source of oversight, and we take care of it.
