Buying a luxury property in Cannes
Buying in Cannes means choosing between the view and calm of the Californie heights, the energy and shops of the Croisette and Pointe Croisette, or the character of the Suquet lanes. We start from your plans and criteria to target the areas and properties that truly fit.
Beyond public listings, we open access to confidential, off-market properties, often previewed around La Californie and the Croisette. You reach rare addresses that classic listings do not show.
From selection and viewings to negotiation and guidance towards the right contacts for financing and the notary, a single point of contact supports you through to signing, for a calm purchase at the right price.

What the deeds say

What differs here
Local taxes and planning in Cannes
Sale law is national. Local taxation and planning rules are not. Here is what is specific to this town, with the official source and its date.
Council tax on second homes in Cannes
no surcharge
Cannes applies no increase to the municipal share of the second-home council tax, where Nice and Antibes both vote one. The 2026 DGFiP record shows no rate for the town.
At comparable rateable value, a Cannes second home escapes an annual surcharge its neighbours apply.

Property tax and transfer duties in Cannes
27.12% (municipal share, 2026 rate)
The municipal property tax rate voted for 2026 stands at 27.12% for the municipal share alone. The municipal rate sits in the upper half of the towns we cover, although the city votes no second-home surcharge.
Both lines must be added up to compare Cannes fairly with its neighbours.
