Owners of private residential properties, which were not the owner's main residence during the years 2009 to 2013, must pay a charge on the property to the Non Principal Private Residence Bureau through the local authority.
Local authorities may investigate and take action against developers of land or property who do have the required permission or have not met the terms of their permission.
Local authorities publish a public register of all eligible and registered people entitled to vote in local, national and European elections and referenda.
