## Resource

Ireland’s new Derelict Property Tax is set to hit owners of empty homes across 107 urban areas, forcing action on thousands of vacant properties while tackling the housing crisis — this isn’t just another levy, it’s a bold government move to get buildings back into use, managed by Revenue and expected to be as high as 7% of market value.
