Homeowners have until the end of next week to revalue their property and indicate how they will pay the tax.

The amount is almost 10 per cent more than 2025’s total, with two-thirds of the increase generated by revaluations and newly liable properties.

Carlow, Dublin City, South Dublin, Fingal, and Cork County councils recently voted to move from a reduced rate to a higher rate.

The vote was expected to pass and will result in three of Dublin's four local authority areas having increased property tax from next year.

"There was a green area beside Scoil Bhríde (Knockmay). It was parish land. It should have been used as a park or a green area, but that went into houses,” said one councillor.

LAOIS County Council has approved an increase in the Local Property Tax which increases to 15 percent.
