Revenue launches Local Property Tax (LPT) revaluation information campaign
The next valuation period for Local Property Tax is approaching. Revenue started its information campaign with the first radio ads on valuation. Over the next few weeks Revenue will be corresponding with property owners to advise them about what they need to and when they need to do it.
All property owners must complete three key steps:
- Determine the valuation band of their property as at 1 November 2025.
- Submit their LPT Return, including the valuation band, by 7 November 2025.
- Pay, or make arrangements to pay, the LPT charge for 2026.
This new valuation band will apply for all LPT charges due from 2026 to 2030.
LPT is a self-assessed tax, which means property owners must assess the current market value of their residential property. Revenue’s website includes updated guidance and an interactive valuation tool to assist with this. The tool provides an estimated average valuation band for residential properties in each area, based on Eircode or location.
Revenue reminds property owners that the valuation tool is a guide only. Owners should consider their property's features and condition and use additional information sources where needed to determine the most accurate valuation.
Ms Katie Clair, Principal Officer in Revenue’s Local Property Tax Branch, encouraged early engagement:
“We are asking all residential property owners to take three simple but essential steps: determine your property’s valuation band, submit it to Revenue on your LPT return, and set up a payment method for 2026. This includes owners of properties that were not previously liable for LPT, but will be from 2026. The process is quick and straightforward, and can be completed online within the LPT Portal, which can be accessed through Revenue.ie, myAccount or ROS.”
She also highlighted that:
"New or previously unregistered residential properties, for example, homes that were derelict but have been refurbished must now be registered for LPT and valued as at 1 November 2025. Owners of vacant properties are also required to submit an LPT Return. Even if you are exempt from paying LPT, you are still required to submit a Return"
The correspondence issuing as part of this information campaign outlines the steps property owners should take, and a sample of same is available below. Further guidance and tools are available at www.revenue.ie/lpt.
