Summary
The government’s rolling out a bold new plan to crack down on abandoned buildings and empty lots — ditching the under-collected derelict site levy and handing collection over to Revenue Commissioners. With millions still unpaid, councils lack the manpower to chase down owners, but the new tax, pegged at the same 7% rate, will make non-payment a serious issue — putting scofflaws on Revenue’s defaulters list. Old debts? Still owed to councils. The rollout begins in big cities, with detailed property lists launching by 2027 — a major push to finally reclaim neglected spaces.
