Citizen’s Corner: Navigating Local Property Tax

Q. I’m a new homeowner and never had to pay property tax before. What exactly is it and how do I pay it? Is any possibility of deferring it?

Local Property Tax (LPT) is an annual tax charged on residential properties in Ireland.  In terms of paying, if you already pay LPT by a recurring method, such as direct debit, this automatically continues for 2025 unless you change it. Recurring methods include deductions from your salary, pension, or social protection payment.
