MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, December 14, 2020

QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

To ask the Chief Executive how many vacant commercial properties are currently registered with South Dublin County Council?

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council has been notified of 270 properties that are vacant for 2020. A number of these properties are vacant and

1) are available for letting 

2) are undergoing alterations, repairs or extensions  to the property.

Many property owners are aware that the current rates waiver scheme make it more beneficial to avail of the rates waiver scheme than to apply for a vacancy refund and this maybe one of the reasons why the level of vacancy applications for 2020 is lower than in previous years.
