Call for submissions on Local Property Tax 2024

The Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 (as amended), makes specific provision that Elected Members of a local authority may pass a formal resolution to vary the basic rate of the Local Property Tax for their administrative area by a percentage known as the local adjustment factor. At the meeting set by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to consider this matter, the members may set a local adjustment factor within the range of +/- 15% of the basic rate, or, may decide not to adjust the basic rate.

The Council will meet on Monday 9th October 2023 to consider the setting of a local adjustment factor. This means that Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council can, at that meeting, increase or decrease the basic rate of the Local Property Tax within the County within the range of a maximum of +/-15% or may decide not to adjust the basic rate.

The Council welcomes written submissions from the public on this matter, specifically covering the potential effects of varying the basic rate of the Local Property Tax on businesses, individuals and on local authority services.

Submissions must be received by the 15th September 2023 and may be made using one of the following methods.

1. Online through the Council’s consultation hub 

2. By E Mail To lptsubmissions@dlrcoco.ie

3. By post to Local Property Tax Submissions, Finance Department, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, County Hall, Marine Road, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin
