Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO's)

Fees and charges

HMO licence fees are paid using a two stage payment process.

The two stages are:

  • Part 1 – this covers the cost of the processing of the application – this is made when the application is submitted.
  • Part 2 – this covers the enforcement element of the scheme and the ongoing cost to administer the HMO service – the payment is due once the initial application checks have been completed, you will be contacted by a HMO licensing officer who will advise how the second part payment can be made and will arrange a date and time to complete an inspection of the property.
