Local Property Tax in Wexford: 2026 Authority and Rate Checks

Check the correct local authority, valuation basis and tax year before using an LPT estimate for a home in Wexford. The local factor adjusts a national base charge; it is not a separate purchase tax.

Identify the authority and tax year

Use the Wexford County Council entry for the relevant property and year. Do not treat a town name, an estate agent’s budget or a previous owner’s payment as confirmation of the current property record.

The percentages above adjust the base LPT charge. They are not percentages of the property’s sale price. Revenue’s official table is the source for the stated 2026 factors; confirm the year before using a saved figure.

Keep the valuation date separate from the sale date

Revenue uses the value at 1 November 2025 for the 2026–2030 valuation period. A price agreed on a later purchase date is not automatically that valuation. Keep the valuation support and the applicable band with the property records.

Check the calculation and the property record

• Confirm the property identifier and administrative area.
• Select the relevant valuation band and year in Revenue’s LPT calculator.
• Check any exemption or deferral on its own conditions.
• Keep the return and payment confirmation; investigate a discrepancy rather than guessing a replacement figure.

For a purchase, give the LPT information to the solicitor and ask what must be resolved before completion. Liability, clearance and apportionment questions need transaction-specific attention. This guide does not replace the Revenue record or determine entitlement to a relief.
