‘Worthless’ homes subject to property tax

Owners of homes deemed ‘worthless’ or without a market value will still have to pay property tax, the Revenue Commissioners has made clear.

Homes that may be un-occupied or where flooding has made them uninsurable, or incapable of being sold, will be subject to the minimum €90 per year.

The Revenue has issued an online guide to help householders navigate the complexities of property tax laws which were introduced in last December’s budget.
