Local councils play a crucial role in the implementation of the Residential Zoned Land Tax (RZLT) in Ireland.
Their primary responsibility is to identify and map the land that falls within the scope of the RZLT.
This involves drafting annual maps that highlight serviced and residentially zoned lands, which are then subject to the tax.
These maps are essential for determining which landowners are liable for the tax and for encouraging the development of residential properties on these lands.
The local councils also manage submissions and consultations from landowners regarding the inclusion or exclusion of their lands from these maps, ensuring a transparent and inclusive process.
Tipperary County Council has taken a pioneering step by being the first local authority in Ireland to adopt the interactive map service for the Residential Zoned Land Tax custom built by (RZLT.ie).
This innovative move demonstrates the council's commitment to leveraging technology to enhance transparency and efficiency in land management.
The interactive maps provide a user-friendly interface for landowners and the public to easily identify and understand the zoned areas subject to the RZLT.
This proactive approach not only streamlines the process for stakeholders but also sets a benchmark for other councils across the country, highlighting Tipperary's leadership in modernising local governance.
