Northern Ireland Domestic Rating System Notice

Residential properties in Newry, Mourne and Down are assessed under the Northern Ireland Domestic Rates system based on capital valuation, not Council Tax bands A–H. Rates are set jointly by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council (District Rate) and the Northern Ireland Executive (Regional Rate). Because property valuations and multipliers differ fundamentally from British Council Tax, Newry, Mourne and Down cannot be directly ranked against English, Scottish, or Welsh local authorities.
