The Residential Property Price Register is produced by the Property Services Regulatory Authority (PSRA) pursuant to section 86 of the Property Services (Regulation) Act 2011. It includes the Address, Date of Sale and Sale Price of residential properties purchased in Ireland since the 1st January 2010, as declared to the Revenue Commissioners for stamp duty purposes.

A Data Sharing Agreement is in place between the Revenue Commissioners and the PSRA. The Revenue Commissioners share the relevant data with the PSRA on a weekly basis. The Residential Property Price Register is subsequently updated with new or amended data. The process is entirely automated and costs to the PSRA are limited to the fixed annual IT Service Charges, payable to the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration (DJHAM) for hosting and supporting the Property Price Register website.

Charges for hosting and maintenance are not itemised nor available.

The initial set up costs of the Residential Property Price Register were borne by DJHAM.
