In some circumstances property owners may not have a liability to pay the charge. This may be because a property is either un-completed or derelict. The owners of properties which are rented to a Local Authority under the provisions of the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS), on the liability date in any particular year, may have an exemption from paying the charge. 

If you own a property and you have determined that you do not have a liability to pay the charge you should complete the relevant declaration form and return it to Longford County Council.
