Cavan County Council agrees to maintain increased rate of Local Property Tax

Cavan County Council has agreed to maintain the increased rate of Local Property Tax.

For the second year running, the payable rate will be 15 per cent above the base.

Each year, a local authority can decide whether to change the rate payable by plus or minus 15 per cent, with it resetting to zero after 12 months.

A detailed presentation at the monthly Council meeting today heard how maintaining the rate from 2021 was recommended because of uncertainty over future funding streams.

The motion was proposed by John Paul Feeley and seconded by TP O'Reilly.
