Charge for Certain Residential Property
€200 Charge for Certain Residential Property
The Local Government (Charges) Act 2009 has introduced a €200 annual charge for the owners of non principal private residences. The charge applies mainly to owners of private rental property and holiday homes. It also applies to vacant residential property unless newly built but unsold.
Liability to pay the charge is assessed by owners themselves. Ownership of a non principal private residence on the 'liability date' (31 July in 2009) determines liability to pay the €200 charge. Payment is due by 30 September. A €20 per month late payment fee will apply from 1 November in respect of each month for which payment is overdue.
Payment can be made on-line at www.nppr.ie, or at the offices of any county or city council. Further information about the €200 charge is available at www.nppr.ie.
