This time of year is not the best for post dropping through your door with two rather hefty bills due.
The first is the Taxe Fonciere which is due to be paid mid October, and the second is the Taxe d'habitation which is due by 15th November (or a few days later if you pay on the internet).
This page gives details of the average costs around France and any exemptions that you may be able to apply for.
