What happens if I request a revision of rateable valuation?

A Valuer (called a Revision officer) from the Valuation Office will call to assess your property.  Where possible the Revision Officer will make contact prior to the inspection to arrange an appointment.  Once the property is inspected, the Revision Officer will send you a draft certificate containing the proposed valuation and other details of your property.

If you are unhappy with the valuation or other details on this draft certificate you may make representations to the Revision Officer within 28 day of the issuing of the draft certificate, see http://www.valoff.ie/en/

What happens next?

Proposed Variation No. 1 of the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022-2028 was placed on public display from Thursday 18th December 2025 to Monday 26th January 2026 inclusive. 
 

A Chief Executive’s Report on Submissions / Observations received to Proposed Variation No. 1 was submitted to the Elected Members of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council for their consideration on Friday 6th March 2026. 
 

Having considered both Proposed Variation No.1 and the Chief Executive’s report, the Elected Members of the Council agreed, by resolution, to make Proposed Variation No.1 with Material Alterations at a Special Council Meeting on April 21st 2026.
 

As Material Alterations have been made to Proposed Variation No.1, there will be a further public consultation period, of not less than 4 weeks, commencing in May 2026.

 

Following this public consultation on the Proposed Material Alterations, all written submissions or observations made in respect of Proposed Material Alterations will be taken into account by the Planning Authority before the variation of the development plan is made at a Special Council Meeting later this year.

 

In preparation for a Special Council Meeting, the Executive will prepare a report and make recommendations to the Elected Members of the Council in relation to issues raised in submissions / observations on the Proposed Material Alterations.

 

Only submissions or observations made in respect of the Proposed Material Alterations can be taken into consideration at this stage.

 

The Elected Members can make the variation, with or without the Material Alterations. The variation will have immediate effect once it is made.
