Local authorities prepare development contribution schemes with rates for planning development contributions. You can have an input into the schemes through consultation.
There is currently no open public consultation to submit your observations on this scheme. We will update this page when there is an open consultation. Until then, please visit our online consultation portal to view any open consultations.
Development Contributions apply to certain planning permissions, depending on the nature of the development. The reason for the application of Development Contributions is for the provision of Infrastructure in the County of Laois. They allow Laois County Council to provide these valuable services which are availed by all citizens of Laois and other counties/countries that visit our County.
In the event that they do apply, these charges are liable prior to commencement of any development.
The current Laois County Council Development Contribution Scheme 2023-2029 was adopted by the Elected Members of the Council and came into effect on the 20th October 2023.
