NPPR charges were introduced under the Local Government (Charges) Act 2009 as amended by the local Government (Household Charge) Act 2011, in respect of all residential properties not used as the owner’s sole or main residence.  The NPPR is a self-declaration charge, and the onus is on the owner to determine their liability and to register their property with the NPPR Bureau (www.nppr.ie).

The liability date for 2013 is as follows: 

  • 31st March 2013

If you owned a property on the above date and you did not reside in that property as your sole or main residence, then you are liable for the NPPR charge.

The charges now due on your property are as follows:
