Valuation Office staff to answer questions from Leitrim ratepayers



Ratepayers in County Leitrim who have questions or concerns about their property valuations will have the opportunity to meet staff from the Valuations Office today and tomorrow, the 6th and 7th February.

They will be at the county council offices in Carrick on Shannon between 9:30am and 4:30pm.

Declan Lavelle, of the Valuation Office, says setting the valuations is an ongoing process.
