The Local Government (Charges) Act 2009 broadened the revenue base of local authorities through the introduction of the charge on non-principal private residences. The charge is set at €200 and is being levied and collected by local authorities.

Section 9 of the Act places collection of the charge under the care and management of the relevant local authority.
