How are commercial rates worked out?

Your property's valuation times your council's Annual Rate on Valuation (ARV) for the year. In Dublin City in 2026 the rate is 0.289, so a €10,000 valuation pays €2,890.

Where do I find my valuation?

On your rates bill, or in Tailte Éireann's valuation list online. Tailte Éireann (the State body that values property) sets it, not the council.

Is there a discount for paying early?

There's no national discount. Some councils run their own: Cork City gives back up to 4% on 2026 bills paid in full by 30 November 2026.
