Revenue has issued reminders to more than 1.5 million property owners across Ireland, urging them to submit their Local Property Tax (LPT) valuations ahead of the 7 November deadline.
According to Katie Clair, head of Revenue’s Local Property Tax branch, more than 550,000 property valuations have already been filed. Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Ms Clair encouraged homeowners to complete the process online via revenue.ie/lpt, noting that it typically takes only five minutes.
She emphasised that while payment of the tax itself is not due by 7 November, homeowners must still submit an accurate self-assessment and valuation of their property by that date. “It’s important that people file an honest assessment and make arrangements to pay,” Ms Clair said.
If a homeowner fails to file their valuation by the deadline, Revenue will apply an estimated value until a self-assessed figure is provided. The agency also warned that it has enforcement and collection options available to pursue cases of non-compliance.
More than 60,000 people have already contacted Revenue’s helpline for guidance on submitting their property valuations. Ms Clair reassured callers that recent technical issues affecting the LPT online portal have now been resolved. Revenue confirmed that a system fix was successfully deployed earlier this week following a series of reported glitches.
Revenue has outlined three key steps for homeowners to complete before the deadline: determine the valuation band of their property as of 1 November 2025, submit the LPT return with the appropriate valuation band, and either pay or arrange payment for the 2026 tax year.
To assist with valuations, Revenue’s website includes an interactive tool that estimates average valuation bands for residential properties based on Eircode or location.
Several payment options are available to property owners. Those paying in full may use credit or debit cards or cash by 9 January 2026. Alternatively, an annual debit instruction can be set up for processing on 20 March 2026. Monthly payments can be arranged through direct debit, with the first instalment deducted on 15 January 2026 and subsequent payments on the 15th of each month. Homeowners can also opt for deductions directly from their salary, wages, or occupational pension starting in January.
Revenue continues to encourage early filing to avoid last-minute issues, ensuring that property owners remain compliant ahead of the upcoming LPT cycle.
