What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The government is introducing a Derelict Property Tax, outlined in the Finance Bill, intended to revitalize communities in Mayo. The tax will be 7% of a derelict property’s self-declared market value, with proportionate surcharges for undervaluation. Collection of the tax will be handled by Revenue, not local authorities. The tax will be phased in, starting with towns and cities over 4,000 people in Census 2022, and expanding to towns over 2,000 people in the second year.

This new regulatory mechanism aims to bring neglected buildings back into use and stimulate property investment in the region.
