Notice is hereby given that at the meeting of Offaly County Council held on 19th of July 2021 a formal resolution was passed to the effect that the basic rate of local property tax should stand varied upwards by 15 per cent for the year 2022 as regards relevant residential properties situated in the administrative area of Offaly County Council. The variation in the Local Property Tax rate applies for a period of one year from the next local property tax liability date.
