Galway County Council has prepared a draft map of the land considered to be in scope for the RZLT as of October 1, 2022. The draft map is available https://consult.galway.ie/en/consultation/residential-zoned-land-tax and can be inspected during normal hours at the Planning Offices of Galway County Council, Aras an Chontae, Prospect Hill, Galway from the 1st November 2022 until 1st January 2023 (inclusive). 

Update as of 1st May 2023

Galway County Council is not publishing a Residential Zoned Land Tax supplemental map.

Residential Zoned Land Tax supplemental maps include additional land identified as being within the scope of the tax, over and above the land which has already been included on draft maps published on November 1, 2022. Where no additional land has been identified as being in scope, Galway County Council is not required to publish a supplemental map in accordance with Section 653F of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997.

Additional land may be identified for inclusion on the supplemental map due to changes in zoning or investment in services. Land which was identified through submissions made on the draft map or which has otherwise become known to the local authority as meeting the criteria for the tax may also be included. As no additional land met these criteria Galway County Council are not publishing a supplemental map.
