Exemptions from rating of empty homes

The request was successful.

Dear Department of Finance (Northern Ireland),

Can you please provide details of the number of empty domestic properties which were successfully classed as exempt from payment of rates for the years 2017/18 and 2018/19, broken down by exemption type?

Can you also provide further details as to the evidence a homeowner is required to provide in order to qualify for an exemption because the property cannot legally be occupied?

Yours faithfully,

E Farrell
