Fribourg's current tax shortlist
If you're looking for the lowest taxes in Canton Fribourg, start with Greng. It currently leads the pack, followed by Sévaz, Delley-Portalban, Meyriez, and Ferpicloz.
The canton isn't flat when it comes to taxes. There's a clear winner at the top, and the rates stretch out significantly by the time you reach Jaun at the bottom.
Breaking down the top five
Greng leads with 6.9% for a single person earning 80k (single_80k), 10.2% for a couple earning 120k (couple_120k), and 9.3% for a family earning 150k (family_150k). Sévaz is right behind at 7.4%, 11.0%, and 10.0%. Delley-Portalban, Meyriez, and Ferpicloz round out the current top five.
The first real tie shows up just below these five: Muntelier and Mont-Vully share the exact same tax burden. This is a good reminder that while rankings help you filter your options, you shouldn't let tiny fractional differences make the entire decision for you.
What the spread means in practice
From first to last place, Fribourg has a gap of 2.5 percentage points for singles, 3.9 points for couples, and 3.5 points for families. That's a large enough spread to justify building a real shortlist.
If you're deciding between two municipalities near the top, the tax difference is real but small enough that commute times and housing prices will probably matter more. But if you compare a top-five municipality with one near the bottom of the canton, you'll definitely feel the gap in your bank account.
Always run the final numbers
PLZHub is great for finding the strong municipalities and building your shortlist. But before you actually sign a lease or buy a home, run your exact numbers through the official cantonal tax calculator.
