How Much is The Property Tax in 2016 ?

Under Property Tax regulations – from 2015 onwards – local Councils could  adjust the annual property tax rates, up or down each year, by as much as 15% from the base rate. All the decisions for 2016 had to be made by September 30th 2015 – and these are the results of all the local authorities decisions on the Property  Tax for 2016 .  None of the local authorities voted to charge more than the rate set by government.

The following local authorities have decided to make the maximum 15% cut to LPT again in 2016

Clare County Council
Dublin City Council
Dun Laoghaire + Rathdown Council
Fingal County Council

A 10% Reduction for 2016 has been agreed by  Cork City Council

A 7.5% cut to LPT will be made by Monaghan Co Council  and Kildare County Council in 2016

A 5% cut to the LPT  will apply in Cork County Council  for 2016

A 3% cut to LPT  will be made by  Longford County Council,

A cut of just 1.5% has been agreed by Louth County Council

    • The owner on Nov 1st is officially liable – but usually when a house is sold the buyers agree to refund any property tax paid by the vendor that covers the period after the sale. Any suhc refunds are not obligatory – and as far as Revenue is concerned the owner on 1st Nov is the liable person.
