Valuation Order
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commissioner of Valuation, with the agreement of the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, previously deferred the National Revaluation Programme in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Following these deferrals, it was necessary to revoke the Valuation Orders made for the rating authority areas of Clare, Donegal, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Galway, Kerry and Mayo County Councils and Galway City Council.
Following the completion of a statutory consultation process between the Commissioner of Valuation, the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the relevant Local Authorities, the Commissioner has made a new Valuation Order on the 6 September 2022 under section 21(5) of the Valuation Act 2001, as amended, for the rating authority of Galway City. This order provides for the completion of the initial revaluation in the Galway City Council rating authority area.

The valuation date specified for Reval 2023 is 1st February 2022. The market information has now been analysed and the Valuation Office will issue Proposed Valuation Certificates to all occupiers on 23rd September 2022 stating the proposed valuation in relation to their property. Occupiers should review all the details contained in the Proposed Valuation Certificate to ensure that they are correct.

Further information is available at www.valoff.ie
Calculating your proposed Rates Liability
The valuation on your Proposed Valuation Certificates is not your rates liability. Your rates liability will be calculated by multiplying the valuation of the property, set by the Valuation Office, by the Annual Rate on Valuation (ARV) which will be set by your Local Authority.
Proposed Rates Liability = Valuation x Indicative ARV 0.217
