Is Charlesland Wood Exempt from Property Tax?

Jimjay

Just reading the wicklow times and it says a road in wicklow with 20 houses, 19 of which sold for over a million euros, is exempt from the property tax due to the 20th house been built but unfinished and unsold. Unfinished housing estates are exempt from the tax.

In Charlesland Wood there is an empty house, look through the window and it is clearly unfinished, studs without boarding wire hanging out of sockets etc. While the 'House' is designated as use for a creche it is clearly unfitted and unsold, it has had numerous attempts to change the planning permission to convert from a creche to a house and is a local hangout for kids who graffiti the walls, continually break the gate to have meetings in the garden and walk all over the walls.

Does this unfinished building mean we should be exempted from the TAX?

These are the only exempt estates in Wicklow. Estates must be either Cat3 or Cat4 classified to be exempt.

Category 3: a receiver has not been appointed and the developer is still in place but effectively inactive; and
Category 4: the development has been effectively abandoned and is posing serious problems for residents.
