There is good news for over 240,000 homeowners in Dublin this morning as the city council voted last night to reject the proposed motion to increase Local Property Tax by 15% for the year 2017.
The rejection of the proposed increase comes after city council chief executive Owen Keegan proposed to increase the tax by 15% in order to generate almost €12 million extra for council services in 2017
However, councillors overwhelmingly voted councillors voted – by 40 to eight – to the current decreased rate meaning the prices for the coming year ahead will remain the same as 2016.
