Paying your Local Property Tax (LPT) charge

Overview

You will find information in this section on how you can pay your Local Property Tax (LPT) charge.

Your LPT charge is based on the valuation band you select on your LPT return. You must submit your LPT return to Revenue by 7 November 2025. The valuation band you select determines your LPT charge for the years 2026 to 2030.

As part of your LPT return, you must select your preferred LPT payment option for the year 2026.

Revenue offers a range of methods for paying LPT. You can opt to make one single payment or spread your payments over the year. You can also authorise another person to make payments on your behalf.

Online payment options

The easiest way to pay your LPT charge is online. This gives you a wide range of payment options:

• single payment in full:
  • debit or credit card
  • Annual Debit Instruction (ADI)
• phased payments (instalments) to spread your payments throughout the year:
  • monthly direct debit
  • deduction at source (from your salary, wages, occupational pension, Department of Social Protection payment or Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine payment).

To make your payment in full, or set up a phased payment arrangement, please log into the LPT online service.

You can also pay in full, or on a phased basis, through an approved payment service provider (PSP). The approved PSPs are An Post and Payzone. You can set this up on the LPT online service, and subsequently make your payment(s) at the PSP.

Note

If you are liable for LPT on more than one property, you are required to pay through one of the online payment options.

There are implications if you do not pay your LPT charge. For further information, please see What happens if you do not comply?
