Paying your Local Property Tax (LPT) charge

LPT payment methods carried forward

If you pay your Local Property Tax (LPT) by one of the recurring payment options, your payment method will be carried forward every year.

The recurring payment methods are:

• monthly direct debit
• Annual Debit Instruction
• deduction at source from your:
  • salary, wages or occupational pension
  • Department of Social Protection payment
  • Department of Agriculture payments.

Note

You must submit your LPT Return to Revenue by 7 November 2025. As part of this return, you must confirm your payment option for 2026.

Paying LPT for two or more properties

Your current payment method for each property will be automatically carried forward if:

• you are liable for LPT for two, or more, properties
• and
• you have already been paying LPT by the same recurring payment method for all of your properties.

Paying LPT for ten or more properties

If you are liable for LPT for ten, or more, properties, you can either:

• specify your preferred payment option in the LPT return for each property separately
• or
• you can set up a single payment arrangement to cover your LPT charges for all of your properties. This can be done using the ‘set up a Payment for Multiple Periods or Properties’ option on the LPT online service.

For further information on submitting your return for multiple properties, please see Owners of multiple properties.
