Local TD Calls for Consideration of Wind Farms in LPT Revaluation
Local TD Pete Roche emphasizes that Revenue must consider the impact of nearby wind farms on property values during Local Property Tax (LPT) revaluations.
Homeowners are being asked to assess their property's market value without guidance on how to account for the effects of wind farms in the area, according to Deputy Roche.
Properties within 1 to 2 kilometres from a turbine drop sharply in value, research shows.
The deadline for submissions is this Friday, November 7th. Fine Gael Deputy Roche stresses the need for Revenue to take into account the numerous planned wind farms in East Galway.
