Thousands of Irish property owners could be hit with a new Residential Zoned Land Tax unless they contact their local council to protest their inclusion.
The new tax will target any unused land zoned and serviced for housing, regardless of its size, according to local authorities, and will be in effect from 2024.
Maps showing which areas of land are liable for the tax have been published by each local authority and landowners have until January 1, 2023, to contact their council to dispute the inclusion of their land on the draft map.
