Cork City retains Local Property Tax rate after council vote

Residents in Cork City will see no change in their property tax payments next year.

City councillors, who have the power to adjust the rate by plus or minus 15% each year, voted 16-10 last night to make no adjustment to the reset base rate for 2018.

Members of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and the Independents group backed the decision to maintain the status quo, with Sinn Féin, Solidarity, and the Workers’ Party critical of the move.
