Revaluation FAQs
What is Revaluation?
Revaluation is a process by which all rateable properties in a local authority area are valued periodically, and at the same time, by reference to a single valuation date. After the first revaluation of a local authority area is completed, Revaluation is then scheduled to take place every five to ten years on a recurring basis.

How will the Revaluation be carried out?
No. Your valuation is the basis on which local authorities calculate and levy rates on your property but is not your rates liability. Your rates liability is a product of your valuation, as assessed by Officers of the Commissioner, multiplied by the Annual Rate on Valuation (ARV) which is set by the local authority.

What if I am dissatisfied with my proposed valuation?
You will have an opportunity to make Representations (within 40 days from the date of issue of the proposed certificate and free of charge) if you are unhappy with anything contained in the proposed valuation certificate. Following consideration of your representations, the Valuation Office will send you a final valuation certificate. This will be the basis for the commercial rates that will be levied on your property by the local authority.

Why is there a Revaluation taking place?
Having a modern valuation base is very important for the levying of commercial rates on a fair and equitable basis across all property sectors. The Valuation Acts provide for the revaluation of all rateable property within a rating authority area so as to reflect changes in value due to economic factors such as differential movements in property values or other external factors and changes in the local business environment.
A revaluation will bring more equity, uniformity, fairness and transparency into the local authority rating system resulting in a more equitable distribution of commercial rates among ratepayers.

Where do you get rental information from?
All ratepayers were issued with a Revaluation Information Form, in which the Valuation Division, Tailte Éireann requested rental information/lease details. Rental information was also received from the Revenue Commissioners and the Property Services Regulatory Authority rental database. All this information was analysed and the conclusions drawn from the analysis is applied to similarly circumstanced property.
