L’objectif affiché est de revenir à la fiscalité de 2023 en annulant la hausse imposée par Christian Estrosi.
Le maire de Nice, Éric Ciotti, présente ses axes budgétaires ce jeudi, en amont du vote à la Ville comme à la Métropole vendredi.

Overview

  • Eric Ciotti, who detailed the plan Thursday, set a target of €60,001,440 in savings this year to finance immediate local tax relief.
  • The tax package would return about €51.4 million to residents through a 4.4‑point cut to property tax, a one‑point drop in the waste levy, and lower charges on second homes.
  • The largest savings come from trimming projects and events and from €20 million in tighter purchasing, with cuts touching the Ironman final, the Ultra‑Trail, and a smaller budget for the Nice Jazz Festival.
  • Symbolic steps include selling 25 official vehicles for an estimated €500,000 and reducing elected officials’ pay by 12.7% at the city and 30% at the métropole.
  • The municipal and metropolitan councils were set to vote Friday on the budget and tax changes as opposition members warned that canceling investments may not deliver lasting operating gains or could strain services.
