Homeowners in Ireland have been warned they could face fines of up to €3,000 if they fail to submit their Local Property Tax (LPT) return by Friday, November 7, 2025. Revenue has stated that over one million individuals have yet to file their returns, and those who miss the deadline may incur significant penalties.
Property owners must complete three steps: determine the valuation band of their property as of November 1, 2025; submit their LPT return, including the valuation band, by the deadline; and pay or arrange to pay the LPT charge for 2026. Revenue also has the power to recover debts by deducting amounts directly from wages, social welfare, or pension payments.
Katie Clair, Manager of Revenue's LPT Branch, noted that over 550,000 returns have been filed so far, which she described as encouraging. However, she urged property owners who have not yet considered their 2026 LPT to do so promptly, highlighting the various payment options available.
The LPT portal, accessible through myAccount or ROS, is the recommended method for filing. Revenue has addressed recent technical issues with the portal, and nearly 10,000 returns were successfully submitted after a system fix was deployed. Property owners experiencing difficulties can contact the LPT helpline at 01 738 3626 for assistance.
