Revenue urged residential property owners to submit their Local Property Tax (LPT) returns for the 2026–2030 period before deadline.

RF Report

Irish Revenue has issued a reminder to residential property owners that the filing deadline for the Local Property Tax (LPT) Return for the 2026–2030 valuation period is 7 November 2025.

This announcement was made on 29 October 2025.

Property owners who have not yet filed are required to:

  1. Determine their property’s valuation band as of 1 November 2025.
  2. Submit their LPT Return, including the valuation band, by 7 November 2025.
  3. Pay or make arrangements to pay the 2026 LPT charge.

Extensive guidance on how to determine the valuation band of a property and submit an LPT Return is available on the Revenue website and can be accessed at www.revenue.ie/lpt. This guidance includes an interactive valuation tool which provides an estimated average valuation band for residential properties in each area, based on Eircode or location.

Revenue reminds property owners that the valuation tool is a guide only. Owners should consider their property’s features and condition, and use additional information sources where needed, to determine the most accurate valuation.

“The level of returns filed to date is encouraging, with over 550,000 returns filed to date. However, I urge any property owner who has not yet thought about their LPT for 2026 to do so now. When submitting your LPT return you will be asked to make arrangements to pay your LPT charge for 2026. There are a number of payment options available, and property owners can pick the one which suits them best,” said Katie Clair, Manager of Revenue’s LPT Branch.

Payment options available for property owners are as follows:

  • Payment in full, by credit or debit card or cash (through a Payment Service Provider) – if choosing this option, the payment deadline is Friday 9 January 2026.
  • Monthly Direct Debit – your first payment will be processed on Thursday 15 January 2026, and payments will be taken on the 15th day of each month thereafter for the remainder of the year.
  • Deduction at source, from salary, wages, or occupational pension – your first payment will be processed in January, and will continue  over the remainder of the year.
  • Annual Debit Instruction – your payment will be processed on Friday 20 March 2026.

The quickest and easiest way for property owners to file their LPT return is through the LPT portal, which can also be accessed via myAccount or ROS.
