MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, July 12, 2021

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

To ask the Chief Executive to set out in tabular form, by area, the number of vacant sites throughout the county, together with details of any vacant site levies imposed and/or paid in respect of same.

REPLY:

There are currently 18 sites included in the VS register which is published by the Council at the following link

https://www.sdcc.ie/en/services/planning/vacant-sites/

A site entered on the South Dublin County Council Vacant Sites Register  and for which a market valuation has been determined by South Dublin County Council pursuant to the Urban Regeneration and Housing Act, 2015 is liable for a vacant site levy. 

However, in line with the prescribed legislation, an owner may appeal the levy imposed to ABP, and similarly where in any year there is a change in ownership of a vacant site, then the amount of vacant site levy to be charged in respect of that site for that year, and for the preceding year, is zero.
