Introduction

The Local Property Tax is collected by Revenue. People call about valuations, payments, exemptions, and vacants. But getting through is easier if you know the right number, what documents to have, and the exact steps to follow. This guide gives those steps — and practical tips that save time.

Prerequisites — what to have before you call or log in

Make the call quick and useful. Gather these details first.

  • PPS number (yours or the owner’s) — Revenue will ask for it.
  • Your Eircode and full postal address of the property.
  • Property valuation figure you’re using (market value). For many returns the valuation date used was 1 May 2013 unless you’ve changed it since.
  • Revenue customer number or LPT Reference (if you have one).
  • Bank details or card if you intend to make a payment or set up a direct debit.
  • Any correspondence from Revenue (letters, emails) that relates to the property or LPT.

Step-by-step: Phone the LPT team (best when you need direct help)

That said, follow these steps to get the most out of a call to +353 (0)1 738 3626.

Mastheads
  1. Try calling first thing or late-afternoon — I've found those slots often mean shorter queues.
  2. Have your PPSN and property address to hand. Agents or accountants should have authorisation to act — Revenue will verify identity.
  3. Dial +353 (0)1 738 3626. If calling from the Republic, you can also use 01 738 3626.
  4. When connected, state you’re calling about Local Property Tax and give your PPSN and property address straight away.
  5. Ask for one thing at a time — for example, ‘I want to change my valuation’ or ‘I want to set up a direct debit.’ It helps the person on the line resolve your issue faster.
  6. Take a note of the agent’s name, the time, and any reference or case number they give you. This matters if you need to follow up.
  7. If the issue needs documents, ask whether Revenue wants them by email ([email protected]) or by post (LPT Branch, P.O. Box 1, Limerick) and confirm the exact tagging or reference to use on the covering letter/email.

Step-by-step: Use Revenue myAccount (best for payments and simple updates)

MyAccount is usually the quickest way to check your LPT record, change how you pay, and make payments online.

  1. Go to https://www.revenue.ie and select myAccount. Log in with your ROS or myAccount credentials.
  2. Open the LPT section — you’ll see properties linked to your PPSN. Click the one you want to manage.
  3. To pay LPT: choose Pay LPT. You can pay in full or set up a direct debit.
  4. To change valuation: select the option to update your valuation or lodge an amended return. Follow the prompts and upload any supporting documents.
  5. To request a refund or correction: follow the prompts to submit a claim. Note the confirmation number and save it.

Costs, rates and example calculations (2026)

LPT is based on a property's market value. Check Revenue or your local authority for the exact 2026 rate before using any example calculations.

  • Property valued at €150,000 – LPT = €270 per year (0.18% of €150,000).
  • Property valued at €250,000 – LPT = €450 per year.
  • Property valued at €500,000 – LPT = €900 per year.

If your council has a local variation it can affect the amount you pay — check Revenue or your council's website and your myAccount entry to see what's applied to your property.

Eligibility, exemptions and special cases

LPT applies to residential properties. There are limited exemptions and deferrals — for example, some charitable properties, properties that are fully social housing, or properties subject to certain emergency situations. Vacant Homes Tax (VHT) is a related measure for long‑term vacant residences — that's handled alongside LPT queries.

If you believe you qualify for an exemption or deferral, contact Revenue by phone or email and have the supporting documents ready.

Tips to make contact smoother

  • Use the phone for complex questions that need an immediate answer. Use email for anything that needs documents attached — [email protected].
  • When emailing, put the property Eircode and PPSN in the subject line. Attach PDFs, not photos, where possible.
  • If you're an agent, include signed authorisation. Revenue won’t discuss a taxpayer’s case without verified authorisation.
  • Note deadlines. For the 2026 LPT return the submission deadline was 7 November 2025 — if you’re dealing with appeals or corrections, act quickly because timelines matter.
  • Save confirmation numbers and correspondence — useful if there’s a later dispute.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Calling without the PPSN or property address — the call will take longer and you may be put on hold while staff find records.
  • Sending incomplete evidence. If you claim an exemption or adjustment, attach all supporting paperwork at the first contact.
  • Using an old valuation date without checking. If you’ve bought or substantially upgraded the property, confirm which valuation date applies to your return.
  • Assuming email replies are instant. Allow several working days for a response to [email protected], especially during busy periods.
  • Leaving payment until the last minute. Online payments can be quick, but banks and processing times can cause delays around deadlines.
