Additional HMO licensing scheme 2026
Payment of fees for an additional HMO licence
The licence fee is payable in 2 parts:
- Part A will be payable on submission of the application and will cover the cost of processing and the administration in determining the eligibility of the application. Should the application be refused or rejected by us, or withdrawn by the applicant, this first Part A payment will not be refunded.
- Part B will be payable once the application has been assessed and the decision is made to grant the licence. This will cover the administration, management, and enforcement of the licensing functions for the scheme. The final licence will not be issued until the full fee has been paid. The Part B payment is automatically debited using the payment details provided once we have processed your application.
