Kildare Property Tax Decision Looms As Dublin Bills Rise

It comes as Local property tax bills are set to rise by up to a third for homeowners in Dublin city.

Locals will know at the end of this month if their property tax will increase.

At a full council meeting on July 28th, councillors will convene and decide whether to make an adjustment within the range of +/-15% of the basic rate or leave the rate as it is.

Every year the rate goes back to the baseline and then a new rate is set.

Locals usually learn of any change in rates in September but the decision has been brought forward this year.

Cllr Kevin Duffy said he hopes the rates will remain but can not comment ahead of the meeting. 

It comes as Local property tax bills are set to rise by up to a third for homeowners in Dublin city.

That, coupled with a re-evaluation of the tax bands depending on property values, is likely to see most homeowners in the City Council area paying up to 34 per cent more in property tax next year.

The increase is expected to being in an extra €16.4 million euro for the council, with the money to go to the likes of housing and roads maintenance, addressing dereliction and zebra crossings.

Meanwhile, it is set to cost around €50,000 to install a Zebra crossing in Naas this year but that money is being allocated through car parking charges funds.
