As outlined above, the RZLT process has two parts.  Local authorities are required to undertake the mapping which identifies the land which is subject to the tax, including an annual update of the final map which will be published on 1 December 2023. Thereafter, the administration of the tax will be undertaken by the Revenue Commissioners.

As Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council do not administer the tax we are unable to answer any queries regarding the administration of the tax. All queries regarding the administration of the tax should be directed to the Revenue Commissioners

In the Planning and Development Act, 2000, there are two provisions, which enable owners of protected structures to find out what works they can and cannot do without planning permission.  These are:

Section 57 Declaration LINK to Section 57 application form

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council can issue, on request from an owner/occupier, a Section 57 Declaration, which will clarify works which will or will not affect the character of the protected structure and consequently whether planning permission will be required. It is important that when returning the application that it is accompanied by an Ordnance Survey Map outlining in red the extent of the site and grounds of the structure. The Section 57 Declaration is a free service and involves a site visit assessment by the Conservation Officer prior to issuing of the Declaration. The more detailed the information we receive regarding your intentions or ideas the better, the more detailed and specific the Declaration will be. Therefore we advise that you have worked out what it is you want to do before sumbitting your application.

Section 5 Declaration LINK To Section 5 Application Form 

Under a Section 5 Declaration it is possible to determine if certain developments are considered exempted development, and therefore not subject to planning permission. This Declaration can apply to both an un-protected and a protected structure. A fee of EURO 80.00 applies to this Declaration.
