Vacant Sites Register DCC

The Active Land Management Unit established Dublin City Council’s Vacant Sites Register on 1st January 2017 under the Urban Regeneration and Housing Act, 2015 (as amended) “the Act”. Under the Act each planning authority is required to maintain a ‘Vacant Sites Register’ which is a register of lands in its area consisting of both residential and regeneration land, which are vacant (and have been vacant for a minimum of 12 months preceding its entry on the register). The dataset includes Register No, Address of the Property, Folio Reference, Ownership, Owner address, Market Value, Date of Valuation and Date entered on the Register.
