Commercial Rates Waiver Scheme 2026
Applications remain open for the Commercial Waiver Scheme for 2026.
The scheme encourages the use of vacant commercial properties by providing a waiver to eligible entrepreneurs who occupy certain vacant properties in 2026, in towns or village centres throughout the county. An attractive, vibrant commercial area contributes positively to a location’s retail and economic growth, boosting footfall and street activity.
This scheme complements the highly successful Shop Front Grants Scheme already available through Kildare County Council. Eligible businesses will receive the waiver over three years.
