I am advised by Revenue that the number of properties liable for Vacant Homes Tax (VHT) in 2025, by county, is shown in the table below. The data are as of November 2025, the latest date for which a county breakdown is available. The properties below were liable for VHT in the second chargeable period from 1 November 2023 to 31 October 2024, when VHT was charged at five times the property’s base LPT rate (excluding any local adjustment factor).
