Setting up in Val-d'Oise
Cost of setting up a business in Val-d'Oise
Local taxes in each municipality, taxes specific to Île-de-France, the minimum wage and average wages, asking prices for premises: the cost benchmarks of setting up, on a single page, each with its source and reference year.
This page gives benchmarks, not a quotation. It is not a simulator: it computes no total cost and promises no amount. The actual cost of setting up depends on the property, the activity and the company's situation; the administrations cited and CEEVO can advise you.

Benchmarks for a municipality and a type of property
Choose a municipality and a type of property: the page shows the rates and tariffs that apply there and the asking prices of listings on this site. No total is computed.
Local taxes
Business property tax (cotisation foncière des entreprises, CFE) is calculated on the rental value of the property used for the business, to which a rate voted by the municipality or intercommunal authority is applied. The overall rate for each municipality of Val-d'Oise and its rate of property tax on buildings are given by the tool above.
Where the rental value is low, CFE is calculated on a minimum base, set by the municipality within a range that depends on turnover. A company is exempt from CFE in the year it is created; the following year its tax base is halved. It is also exempt if its turnover did not exceed €5,000.
| Turnover | Minimum base |
|---|---|
| up to €10,000 | between €250 and €597 |
| €10,001 to €32,600 | between €250 and €1,194 |
| €32,601 to €100,000 | between €250 and €2,509 |
| €100,001 to €250,000 | between €250 and €4,183 |
| €250,001 to €500,000 | between €250 and €5,974 |
| over €500,000 | between €250 and €7,769 |
The table of rates for every municipality is on the page Local taxes, municipality by municipality.

Development tax
The development tax (taxe d'aménagement) is payable once, on construction or extension work requiring planning permission. It is calculated as: taxable floor area × flat-rate value × rate. In 2026 the flat-rate value is €1,011 per m² in Île-de-France; it is halved for industrial or craft premises and for warehouses.
Three rates are added together: the municipal share, voted by the municipality (1% to 5%, up to 20% in certain areas), the departmental share (2.5% in Val-d'Oise) and the regional share (1% in Île-de-France).

Method
- Scope: the 573 listings published on the site, of which 322 were updated less than 24 months ago; the other 251 are excluded.
- Type: five non-overlapping groups. A listing that mixes non-comparable uses (for example retail and offices) is not counted: 25 listings.
- Unit: the price is read from the text of the listing, and only if it states its unit (euros per m² per year for a rent, euros per m² for a sale). An amount with no unit, in francs or “on request” is excluded: 68 listings for rents, 37 for sales. For a range, the lower bound is used. A total sale price is converted to a price per m² when the listing has a single floor area; sales of goodwill are excluded.
- Inconsistent listing: several different prices in the same text, or an entered amount that contradicts the text: 6 listings excluded for rents, 4 for sales.
- Outlier: within each type, a value more than one and a half times the interquartile range below the first quartile or above the third is excluded: 6 rents, 2 sale prices.
- Threshold: no figure is published from fewer than 5 listings.
The only official reference available is the sales of industrial, commercial and similar premises recorded by the tax administration. From January 2021 to December 2025 their median price was €2,206 per m² in Val-d'Oise (2,480 sales), compared with €1,473 in France. This category covers very different properties: the median does not describe a specific type of property.
