The Government’s Housing For All – A New Housing Plan for Ireland proposed a new tax to activate vacant land for residential purposes as a part of the Pathway to Increasing New Housing Supply. The Residential Zoned Land Tax was introduced by the Finance Act 2021.As of 1 February, The dataset contains the land identified as being considered liable to the tax from most of the 31 local authorities in the State. The available datasets will comprise the annual draft maps for 2027, published on 1 February 2026. Previous datasets relating to the mapping process so far are also available, including the draft map and final map datasets published from 1 November 2022 to 31 January 2026. The final map for 2026 represents the dataset of land which will be liable to the tax, while the annual draft map for 2027 indicates existing liable land, new land considered to be liable in 2027 and land which is now considered to be out of liability and which will be removed from the next final map in 2027. Where a local authority administrative area is not shown on the dataset, the annual draft map of land meeting criteria will be published on the local authority’s own website as required by the legislation. The overall dataset will be updated in the near future once outstanding map data is received. Certain settlements will not be identified due to lack of capacity or services or due to out of date zonings.The dataset contains data which will allow identification of the amount in hectares of zoned serviced land within settlements.
