Who decides what your house is worth ?  You do !

Property Tax Valuation Map

The government haven't got the time or the money to send staff around all the houses in the country to value them - so they expect home owners to do it themselves .  They have provided an online  map based tool that shows average values  - you can read more about the  Revenue Valuation Map Here



How will home owners work out how much their house is worth?

If you have recently bought your house - then I suppose the value will be pretty close to what you paid for it . But - for those hundreds of  thousands who bought a house several years ago - or got one built it won't be easy to try and place a figure on the value. The recently launched Property Price Register is the only source of house sale prices available - but it doesn't contain any details of house type (detached/semi) , or numbers of bedrooms - nothing except the sale date and price. In rural areas it will be almost impossible to find house sales to use for comparison.

Owners don't have to be too exact with the valuation - there are ranges or band of values with €50k intervals that they have to decide in which band  to place their house. It does mean that - for example an apartment valued at €45,000 will be charged the same property tax as a house valued at €99,000. ((€90)

It also means that if someone values a house at €199,000 they will pay €315 - but if they value their house at €201,000 - they will pay €90 more. The property tax will increase by €90 for each band under 1million
