Four major projects are to receive a significant funding boost from the money ringfenced from the increase in the 2021 local property tax (LPT).
In September 2019, Offaly County Council voted to increase the local property tax by 15 per cent. It was the first change to the tax in the county since its inception in 2013 and was the highest increase permitted by law.
Following the increase of 2020, it was recommended that the 15 per cent increase be applied again in 2021 and a pot of money, totalling €742,378 was ringfenced to fund these four major projects across the county and enabled the local authority to leverage central Government funding of over €3.1 million for capital projects of “scale” across the county.
