The Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012 (as amended), makes specific provision that the Elected Members of a local authority may pass a formal resolution to vary the basic rate of the Local Property Tax for their administrative area by a percentage known as the Local Adjustment Factor. Article 10 of the Local Property Tax (Local Adjustment Factor) Regulations 2014 requires a local authority that has decided to vary the basic rate of the local property tax within its administrative area to give public notice of that decision.

In pursuance of the provisions of section 20 of the FINANCE (LOCAL PROPERTY TAX) ACT 2012 (as amended), I the undersigned hereby notify the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage of the passing of a resolution at a meeting of Monaghan County Council on 5th July 2021 to the effect that the basic rate of local property tax should be varied upwards by fifteen percent (15%) for the year 2022 in respect of relevant residential properties situated in the local authority’s administrative area.

Signed: Eamonn O’Sullivan

Chief Executive

Dated: 8th July 2021

 

The NPPR charge and late payment fee relating to 2009 and the associated charge on a property is due to expire after 31 July 2021.

Each charge which became a charge on property is applied for its own 12-year period, measurable from the liability date. The liability and charge on property in respect of the 2009 NPPR charge, therefore, expires after 31 July 2021.

From 1 August 2021, the amount of NPPR fees and penalties a vendor is required to pay in order to sell a property which was an NPPR, reduces every year until the liability and charge on the property expires completely on 1 April 2025.
