No sale unless €100 household levy paid

ANY homeowners refusing to pay the planned annual €100 household charge will not be able to dispose of their property until they stump up whatever they owe.

If they die owing the charge, it will have to be paid by whomever inherits the property, according to the Department of the Environment.

Answering a parliamentary question from Fine Gael TD for Dublin South East, Eoghan Murphy, Environment Minister Phil Hogan said unpaid charges will remain “as a charge against the property”.
