Development Land Market Review Q1 2024

This report provides an overview of the key developments in the Irish development land market during the first quarter of 2024, with an outlook for the remainder of the year.

Residential Zoned Land Tax

Residential Zoned Land Tax (RZLT) has been introduced by the Government to accelerate housing development on ‘relevant’ land (generally land zoned residential and serviced) and to restrict ‘land hoarding’. 

Local Authorities produce maps identifying relevant lands which are then liable for RZLT. These maps are updated annually. 

RZLT is live from 1 February 2025 and is calculated at 3% of the market value of the relevant land. It applies annually until homes are built on the land. 

Landowners will need to consider this tax carefully and take professional advice. For valuation, disposal or other advice, please visit our RZLT page.
