Tailte Éireann is an independent state agency providing a property registration system, property valuation service, and national mapping and surveying infrastructure for the state. It provides the valuation of all commercial property for the purpose of the levying of commercial rates by local authorities. Tailte Éireann determines whether a property is rateable and, if rateable, the appropriate rateable valuation of the property.
Details of the valuations for all properties entered on the Valuation List for County Wexford (and of all other properties in the State) are available online. Check a property valuation online by entering the property number, if known, on the Tailte Éireann website or alternatively you can search the Tailte Éireann Property Map for details of a property valuation.
Ratepayers can find the Property Number on their Rates Bill. This is a unique number allocated to a property and should be quoted in all communications with Tailte Éireann.
Can I have my valuation revised?
Once a valuation is fixed on a property it does not change from year to year. Under the legislation which governs the valuation process, an owner or occupier of a property may make an application through the Tailte Éireann website to have the valuation of a property revised provided a ‘Material Change of Circumstances’ has taken place since the property was last valued.
In brief, a material change of circumstance means a physical alteration, total or partial demolition, a subdivision or amalgamation of relevant property or a new building. A change of valuation status (e.g. from domestic to commercial or vice versa) is also deemed to be a material change of circumstance. A change in the economic circumstances of a property (e.g. something which brings about new trading conditions) does not, in itself, constitute a material change of circumstances.
Please note, there is a fee of €250 for applying for revision and an application can result in a valuation increasing, decreasing or remaining the same.
