City hall registration (Paris teleservice) — Mandatory registration via the City of Paris teleservice. You receive a 13-digit registration number. The national API Meublés portal (DGE, decree n°2026-196) is being rolled out - the host module is expected in the 2nd half of 2026; in the meantime, use the Paris teleservice.
●
Registration number on listings — The number must appear on all your listings. Platforms are required to block listings without a valid number.
●
Automatic night counter — Platforms automatically block bookings beyond 90 nights for primary residences in Paris.
●
Mandatory energy certificate — For secondary residences (change-of-use permit), minimum class E DPE is mandatory (loi Le Meur, art. L631-7-1 A du CCH, since 21/11/2024). Primary residences do not require a DPE at registration. The F/G passoire ban from 2028 does not apply to tourist rentals.

Primary vs secondary residence

Secondary

Change of use: required · Compensation: yes

An authorization with compensation is attached to the property, not the person.
