Local Property Tax Allocations for 2026: A Detailed Breakdown

The country’s 31 local authorities will recieve €767 million from the local property⁣ tax (LPT) in 2026, according to figures published by the Department ⁤of Housing,Local Government and Heritage.

The amount is almost 10 per cent more than 2025’s⁢ total, with two-thirds of the increase generated‍ by revaluations and newly liable⁢ properties. The remaining €23 million of the €70.4 million increase will be generated by changes made by councils to how they ‍vary the ⁣base rate.

each council has the⁢ power to adjust‍ the amount charged to property owners by⁤ plus or⁣ minus 15 per cent.

The number of local authorities adding the⁣ maximum permitted 15 per cent to bills next year will increase from 18 to 20, ⁣but by far the most important change is ⁣the decision by Dublin City Council (DCC) members ‍in July to stop applying⁣ a 15 per cent⁣ cut to its rate,a move⁤ that will generate an additional €16.5 million for the council from LPT charges in 2026.

The move will bring DCC’s allocation from LPT to €109 million, more than €50 million more than the ⁤next largest. At €9.9 million, Carlow County Council’s allocation is the smallest.

Just ‍three local authorities will apply cuts to their charges next year, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal⁤ and South Dublin County Council
