I propose to take Questions Nos. 186 to 189, inclusive, together.

In relation to Dail Question No. 186 (Ref: 36792/25). I am advised by Revenue that the below table outlines the total number of residential units owned by the 187 landlords with over 100 properties each; the total number of residential units owned by the 186 landlords with between 50 - 99 properties each; the total number of residential units owned by the 745 landlords with between 20 - 49 properties each; the total number of residential units owned by the 2,217 landlords with between 10 -19 properties each; and the total number of residential units owned by the 10,562 landlords with between 5 - 9 properties each, in tabular form. The table excludes Local Authorities and Approved Housing Bodies.

Number of Properties Owned Number of Owners Number of Properties
5-9 10,562 63,174
10-19 2,217 27,553
20-49 745 20,820
50-99 186 12,602
100 and greater 187 55,623

In relation to Dail Question No. 187 (Ref: 36793/25). I am further advised by Revenue that the total number of legal entities that own more than 1,000 residential units is 50. The total number of residential units owned by this cohort is 215,471 properties. The information is shown below in tabular form.

Type Total Properties Owned Organisations
Local Authorities 159,054 31
Approved Housing Bodies 38,620 <10
Businesses 16,343 <10
Other 1,454 <10
Total 215,471 50

Due to Revenue’s obligation to protect the confidentiality of taxpayer data, as provided for in Section 851A of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997, it is not possible to provide data in relation to the numbers of property owners in all instances due to the low number of taxpayers involved.

Further detail is available in Revenue’s Statistical Disclosure Control Protocol, published at: www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/about/statistical-disclosure-control.aspx

In relation to Dail Question No. 188 (Ref: 36794/25). I am further advised by Revenue that the total projected local property tax liability for 2025 excluding local authorities and approved housing bodies is €534.1 million based on registrations at 31/03/2025. Public bodies are taken to be largely explained by local authorities and approved housing bodies. The property tax liability for 2025 excluding rental properties cannot be provided as rental are not separately identified on the local property tax return.

In relation to Dail Question No. 189 (Ref: 36795/25). Finally, I am advised by Revenue that the total number of residential properties for the purposes of the LPT that are not owned by local authorities or AHBs or exempted properties (including Charity/Public Body owned for special needs) is 1,776,725. The calculation is outlined below in tabular form:

Total Properties 2,022,242
Local Authority/ Approved Housing Bodies 208,592
Exemptions 36,925
Remaining properties 1,776,725
