No need for sarcasm, given the nature of some of your recent postings to me have I done or said something to upset you?

And the best way to have done that would have been to use words similar to FFS's - "It's a reply to a question posed on another forum"
You created a thread with a rhetorical question and went on to answer Aardvark, you could have responded on the other forum whatever it is, I'm sure I'm not the only one to have assumed Aardvark had asked your advice & therefore by PM.
It serves no purpose to tell someone publicly they are 100% wrong as they often are if you are not willing to explain correct or inform them unless it's to try to wind them up.
So I will ask you the question a second time, have I done or said something to upset you?

Your first post was not needed and this is my last one.

I'll take that as a yes then, had I recognised the signs earlier I would not have replied.
There is no bad feeling on my side.

Back on topic, my guess is that there has quite simply either been a mistake or that the maire is trying to get as much revenue in as he can by taxing every property that he can, by fair means or foul. And taxing an absent owner is an easy way to do it! From what you say there is no way that the place should be paying Taxe d’Hab so recorded delivery letter to Mairie ( with details of state of dilapidation of property) and check with the tax people. Also find out how to appeal what is effectively a rerating and why you were not informed which is surely your right.

A work in progress. We keep sending letters and we know they are getting through because we get responses referring to them. We will be searching for email addresses to canvas further up the food chain. A long winter ahead with nothing much else to do.

You can tell me to mind my own business if you like but I'm happy to help you resolve this as I probably live close to the house. Have you contacted the Mairie at all?

If you do get the tax revoked then another division of the government will send you letters every year asking if the work has been completed or a date of when it will be finished. We had that from Grasse every year even after it finished.. I told the owners to reply and finally they did and the letters stopped and normal service - tax d hab started again. We did get it revoked for one year when there were no toilets installed but as the ones that were installed were in built hanging toilets we were not eligible.
Does a 2nd property no matter what the state still have to pay tax d hab? I think so? It was null en voided for principle residences but 2nd I do not know.. Something to look at the law closely before raising a stink and involving other people. It might also depend on region, department..
Why not just destroy it & take it away or bury it and just have the land if you are not going to sell it as is? It will probably happen anyway down the line.

I can only answer how the situation is here. Your house or apartment is empty and empty means empty, no furniture, and you wish for a dispensation of TdH, one would apply to the Mairie for an Attestation de Vacance. There are no requirements for it to be 'uninhabitable'. It can be fully fitted out with a functioning bathroom and kitchen, it just has to be empty of non fixed furniture. If it meets these requirements on the 1st of Jan, then no TdH will be payable later in the year. Just for the record, we have a history of sixteen years applying these rules to our apartments should they be vacant on the 1st Jan with the full co-operation of the Mairie.

We had better liaise as I don't want to come across you when I am in the garden with my sledgehammer.

Just a thought... In your communications with the powers that be Aardvark, there isn’t any confusion between the French word "habitable" (meaning INhabitable in English), and the French "inhabitable" (meaning UNinhabitable in English)?

If all else fails you can always ask an estate agent to value the house as a rental or a sale, it costs you nothing. They will confirm you cannot rent out the house as its uninhabitable. The tax office cannot argue with that. Tim and curtis are not that far from the property they could help.
