Owners to see property tax rise in 2020

Homeowners are likely to see increases to their local property tax (LPT) bills after next year, but Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe says they will be “affordable”.

He said any alteration to the tax levied on people will be “moderate and well understood”.

This represents the first indication that increases to how much homeowners pay in local property tax are likely following the introduction of a new system from 2020.
