Paying your Local Property Tax (LPT) charge

LPT payment methods carried forward

If you pay your Local Property Tax (LPT) using a recurring payment option, your payment method carries 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 (DSP) payment
  • or
  • Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine (DAFM) payment. 

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 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 your properties. You can use 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.
