Stamp duty on a residential home in Louth generally follows the same national rules as elsewhere in Ireland, rather than a county-specific rate. For example, if the applicable rate were 1%, a €300,000 purchase would produce a €3,000 duty bill; at 2%, it would be €6,000—these are illustrations only, not current figures. The amount can depend on the property type, price and transaction details, so check the latest rates and reliefs with Revenue and confirm the calculation with your solicitor before signing. Budget separately for legal fees and other purchase costs.
