The following fees and charges apply from 1 January 2024.

HMO licence fees (ODT, 8.43KB)

HMO licence fees

HMO licence fees must now be paid in two stages:

Stage 1 fee

This fee accompanies the application form and covers the administrative costs of processing the application and determining whether to grant a licence.

Stage 2 fee

This fee must be paid immediately after completion of the initial inspection.

This part of the licence fee covers the costs of re-inspections over the lifetime of the licence, plus a contribution towards the costs of identifying and enforcing HMOs.

Your licence application is not complete without full payment and we will not issue the final licence until both fees have been paid in full.
