Longford County Council to increase Local Property Tax by 5% for 2018

Longford County Council Local Property Tax

Longford County Council is to increase Local Property Tax by 5% for 2018.

Members of Longford County Council voted today to increase the Local Property Tax (LPT) rate in the county by 5% for 2018.



Twelve months ago, councillors decided to reduce the LPT by 3% and they made this move despite being warned that it would result in a reduction of €63,000 in revenue for the Council.

The 3% LPT reduction meant homeowners were saving approximately 5 cents per week or €4.20 over twelve months.
