Members of Mayo County Council have gone against the advice of senior officials by voting for a 3% reduction to the Local Property Tax in the county.
The proposal to seek a 3% reduction was made by Councillor Al McDonnell (FF)
The lowest rate of Property Tax in 2014 is €90 euro – this will drop to €87.30 when the 3% cut is made.
A house with a Property Tax in Band 2 (currently €225) will see a fall to €218.25 in 2015.
