Revenue issued a press release last week reminding residential property owners that the deadline for filing the Local Property Tax (LPT) return for the 2026 – 2030 period is 7 November 2025. The press release confirms that over 550,000 returns have been filed to date and that a system update was implemented last Wednesday to address several technical issues recently identified within the LPT Portal.
Property owners are required to assess the value of their property as of 1 November 2025 and submit this valuation to Revenue, along with filing the LPT return by the due date later this week. Taxpayers must also confirm the preferred payment method for 2026 when filing the LPT return choosing between an annual debit instruction, monthly direct debit, deduction at source or payment in full.
Comprehensive guidance on determining the correct valuation band for a property and submitting a Local Property Tax (LPT) Return is available on the Revenue website. This includes an interactive valuation tool that provides an estimated average valuation band for residential properties in each area, based on Eircode or location. Revenue reminds property owners that this tool is intended as a general guide only.
Revenue has also revised several LPT related manuals to incorporate the changes introduced by the Finance (Local Property Tax and Other Provisions) (Amendment) Act 2025 and we have outlined these in more detail here.
Further details on LPT obligations are available in our previous new item outlining the changes announced in the General Scheme of Finance (Local Property Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2025 and in our news item on the Local Property Tax information campaign launched by Revenue.
