Reclassifying your premises from Non-Domestic to Domestic

The Premise Reclassification application form can be used if you believe your premises is incorrectly classified by Uisce Éireann as being non-domestic or mixed-use premises.

Premises that are occupied by a person or people as a private residence are called dwellings. Dwellings should be classified as domestic premises. However, sometimes, a premises might be misclassified in our data.

If you believe that your premises is a dwelling but is currently being classified as a non-domestic or mixed-use premises, you should let us know by completing the application form below.

The primary reasons for reclassification are the cessation of non-domestic activity at the premises or if non-domestic activity has never occurred at the property.

Once a review has been completed on the details provided in the form along with the evidence required, a decision will be made on your reclassification request.
