Limerick homeowners get a break with no increase in local property tax for 2025

At a full Limerick City and County Council meeting this Monday, councillors voted in favour of maintaining the LPT and its variation rate at the same levels established in 2024.

This decision will ensure an additional €2.36 million in funding for the city and county next year.

Projects funded by the LPT in 2024 included a new library van, new road sweepers, a 'velocity patcher' to fix potholes, two new rollers and a chip spreader.

The LPT has also facilitated an increase in road maintenance; in particular, the amount of Gully Inlet works being carried out on Regional and Local Roads.

Additional funds from the LPT were also allocated to the Fire Service, Library Service and Tourism Development.

Mayor of Limerick, John Moran, stated: "I very much support the decision to raise these valuable funds for Limerick. The additional €2.36 million raised through the Local Property Tax will support the provision of essential services for Limerick and its citizens."

Dr Pat Daly, Director General of Limerick City and County Council, added: "Thanks to the decision made by elected members, these additional funds from the LPT will guarantee provision of important public services in areas including road maintenance, parks and recreational facilities, community development projects, waste management and environmental initiatives, libraries, fire service and tourism development."
