Griffith's Valuation
In order to produce the accurate information necessary for local taxation, the
Tenement Act of 1842 provided for a uniform valuation of all property in Ireland, to be based on the
productive capacity of land and the potential rent of buildings. The man appointed Commissioner of
Valuation was Richard Griffith, a Dublin geologist, and the results of his great survey, the Primary
Valuation of Ireland, were published between 1848 and 1864.
