Interactive tool · 2026 regulations
Check in 1 minute whether your short-term letting project is allowed in Nice. The simulator guides you according to your situation (main or second home, quota zone, building rules) and lists your steps. Aligned with the up-to-date 2026 regulations: Le Meur law, metropolitan regulation of 22 June 2026, quotas per zone.
The only simulator aligned with the 2026 Nice regulations in force.
Why this simulator
Since 2025, Nice has profoundly overhauled its framework for short-term letting: a system of quotas per zone for second homes, a 5-year, non-renewable authorisation, and a cap of 120 days per year for main residences.
As a result, many owners no longer know whether they are allowed to let, nor what steps to take. This simulator answers these questions in a few clicks, based on the official texts, kept up to date.
Answer 2 or 3 questions and immediately obtain your situation: allowed, under conditions, or blocked, with the list of your declaration and tax obligations.
Step 1
What is the status of the property you want to let?
Your main residence is the home you occupy more than 8 months per year. Below that, the property is considered a second home.
Step 3
Has your building (copropriété) voted to ban short-term furnished letting?
Since the Le Meur law, a building's general meeting can ban short-term letting by a two-thirds majority. Check your building rules if you're not sure.
Answer every question to get your situation.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, up to 120 days per year, according to the Nice Côte d'Azur Metropolitan Authority. No change-of-use authorisation is required for a main residence; beyond 120 days, a change of use becomes mandatory. Exceeding the cap exposes you to a civil fine of up to €15,000.
