Occupiers of all commercial properties/installations are liable for payments of rates. Rates are also payable on vacant properties. In these cases the owner/leaseholder is liable. A refund of up to 50% of rates paid on vacant properties may be made if certain conditions are met.
Each property has a Rateable Valuation which is assessed by Tailte Éireann (https://www.tailte.ie/), which is a new body formed from the merger of Valuation Office, Property Registration Authority and OSi as of 1st March 2023.
This valuation remains unchanged unless there is a material change in circumstances.
The elected council members set an Annual Rate on Valuation at their budget meeting each year. The ARV for 2023 is 77.59
The rate bill is calculated by multiplying the Rateable Valuation by the Annual Rate on Valuation.
If you feel that there has been a material change in circumstances which would result in a revision of your rateable valuation you may apply to Tailte Éireann (https://www.tailte.ie/). The fee for this is €250 per account.
Full details are available from Tailte Éireann by e-mail: info@valoff.ie.
Please note the above bank account details are for Rates Payments Only. Please Reference your Rate account number on the Payment advice.
