Local Property Tax • A self-assessment tax based on the owner’s own appraisal of the market value of the property. • Collected by the Revenue Commissioners. • Variety of payment methods available. • 80% of LPT retained locally, 20% of LPT re-distributed to provide top-up funding to local authorities with lower property tax bases. • Under section 20 of the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012, a Local Authority may, as a reserved function, vary the basic rate of LPT by a maximum of +/- 15%.
Local Property Tax 2020 • The Public consultation process regarding the LPT was advertised both online and in the local media. • Submissions had to be received by the 16th August 2019. • Two submissions received via online questionnaire: 1. Requesting no change on 2019 2. Requesting an increase by the maximum 15% • Prepare report for Council meeting, setting out the matters to which the Council must have regard in making a decision on the LPT including the financial position of Limerick City and County Council.

Gully Inlets
The increase in the LPT has facilitated an increase in the amount of Gully Inlet
works being carried out on Regional & Local Roads throughout the three Municipal
Districts. This has allowed removal and discharge of surface water from the road
network throughout the district resulting in a safer road networkSurface Dressing Works

Key areas such as Footpath Repairs / Upgrades are not specifically
grant aided and are funded from general maintenance / own
resources. Consequently the increased money from LPT in 2019 has
facilitated footpath repairs and footpath works ancillary to road
improvements that otherwise would not have been possible.

In order to maintain the city centre streets we

to remove gum and grime from the streets.

Our street sweepers were deployed to the
approach roads on a number of occasions, as
well as to private estates. This was additional
work to their normal work loadParks, Pitches & Open Spaces
We were able to implement an extensive weed
maintenance programme throughout all the council
housing estates , as well as on the public roads,

charge in the city and county in 2019 to
