Residential Zoned Land Tax (RZLT) - County Kildare
The Residential Zoned Land Tax (RZLT) was introduced in the Finance Act 2021. The process to identify land to which the tax applies is now underway and the tax will be payable from 2024. The objective of the tax is to activate land that is serviced and zoned for residential use or mixed use, including residential use, in order to increase housing supply and to ensure regeneration of vacant and idle lands in urban locations. The legislation underpinning the RZLT may be found at Part 22A of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997. Guidance in respect of the administration of the tax may be found here
The RZLT process has two parts: Part 1) Identification and mapping of the land in scope for the tax. This is undertaken by local authorities through the publication of draft and supplemental maps – see below. Part 2) Administration of the tax, which is to be undertaken by the Revenue Commissioners from 2024 onwards.
We are at Part 1 now. Kildare County Council has prepared draft maps of the land considered to be in scope for the RZLT as of October 1, 2022 ( 2,840.41 hectares ) and these draft maps are available to view on this page at Materials and at our offices, Aras Chill Dara, Devoy Park, Naas, Co. Kildare Monday to Friday 9.30a.m. - 4 p.m. A map reference guide is available below.
