What this means

France already has many local declaration and change-of-use rules for furnished tourist rentals.

The main complexity is that a future national layer must sit on top of strong municipal rules.

Implementation status

Service-Public says all furnished tourist rentals must be declared or registered through a dedicated national online service by 20 May 2026.

Existing municipal declaration numbers and change-of-use authorisations remain important for practical compliance.

Technical interface

No France-specific SDEP OpenAPI documentation, source code, sandbox, or developer portal is currently available.

Future tracking should identify whether the national SDEP maps to existing municipal registration numbers or creates a new national identifier.
