Value Your Property – Guide to Local Property Tax

Overview

The liability date for Local Property Tax (LPT) is 1 November each year. This means that your property is liable for LPT in 2026 if it is a residential property on 1 November 2025.

Important: A new valuation period begins in 2026. All property owners must revalue their property as of 1 November 2025 and submit this revaluation by 7 November 2025. This new valuation will determine your LPT charge for the years 2026 to 2030.

What You Need to Do

What you need to do will depend on whether your property:

Was already liable for LPT in previous years
Has become liable for LPT for the first time

If Your Property is Newly Liable

If your property has become liable for LPT for the first time, you must:

Value your property
Submit your LPT Return
Arrange payment

For the 2026 Valuation Period

All property owners must revalue their property as of 1 November 2025. The deadline to submit your revaluation is 7 November 2025 via ROS or MyAccount.

If you don’t submit a valuation, Revenue’s estimate will apply, which may be too high or too low.

How to Value Your Property

You can determine the value of your property in the following ways or get your house professionally valued:

Get an Instant Online Valuation Estimate CKP offers a free instant home valuation tool that provides an approximate AI-generated estimate of your property’s value. This tool is for rough guidance only and can vary significantly from the actual market value. While it can help you get a general sense of your property’s worth, you cannot rely on it for your LPT return and Revenue are unlikely to accept it as evidence of value. For your LPT assessment, you should use multiple valuation methods and consider obtaining a professional valuation if needed. https://ckp.ie/services/free-property-valuation-in-dublin/
Check the Property Price Register The Property Price Register is available on the Property Services Regulatory Authority website. The Register lists the address, date of sale and price of all residential properties purchased after January 1, 2010. This is an excellent resource to see what properties in your area have actually sold for. https://www.propertypriceregister.ie/
Check on Daft.ie and MyHome.ie You can compare the price of your property against those in your area which are currently for sale for guidance on what the value of your own property may be. The current asking price of a property on your street with similar features is a strong indication of the value of your property.
Revenue’s Online Valuation Tool Revenue have created an online valuation tool to help you value your property. Enter your address or Eircode, or select the area where your property is located to determine the valuation band. This tool provides an indication of average property values in your area. https://lpt.revenue.ie/lpt-web/valuation-guide/index.htm
Ask Your Neighbour It may be useful to chat among your neighbours to determine the valuation band under which your properties fall. Your neighbour’s property is likely to have a similar construction to your own, be located in the same area, and be valued under similar economic circumstances. It is likely that the value of your properties will be similar.

LPT is a self-assessment tax. Revenue does not require an exact market value of your property. They seek a realistic value taking into consideration all relevant details that can justify the figure.
