If you are the owner or joint owner of a residential property on the 1st November 2021, you will be liable to pay the Local Property Tax (LPT) which will cover you until November 2022. You need to have confirmed your way of payment for the LPT by the 7th of November for 2022.

Some properties are exempt from LPT for a few different reasons such as pyrite in the blockwork, first-time buyers that bought between 1st January 2013 and 31st of December 2013 inclusive, properties that were vacated by their owners due to illness. These are some of the exemptions that are listed on Citizens Information – we would suggest that you consult the full list should you wish to query your eligibility for exemption.
