Revaluations of Rateable Properties - Calleary

Dara Calleary TD has welcomed confirmation from the Valuations Office that the revaluation of rateable properties in Mayo is deferred until 2023. Deputy Calleary said: "I have been in contact with numerous small and medium business owners across Mayo in recent months about the revaluation of rateable properties – an issue that has caused additional worry and stress for business owners on top of the covid stress of the past two years. The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien, on foot of representations, has now agreed with the Commissioner of Valuation that the Commissioner will defer the revaluation of rateable properties in Mayo until 2023. New valuations arising from the revaluation will now be finalised in October 2023 and become effective for rates purposes from 2024 onwards. The Valuation Office will write to all ratepayers in Mayo in the near future to notify them of the changed timelines. I am happy that common sense has prevailed and some breathing space has been afforded to ratepayers in the county."
