Licence fees and charges
Paying the fee
Paying in two parts
You are able to pay the fee in two parts:
- The first payment is due at the time of the application and covers the administration costs of processing the licence.
- The second part of the fee, is for the enforcement and management of the licensing scheme and will be due before the final licence is granted.
The higher administration fee for paying in two parts reflects the extra costs incurred by the council of processing two payments. The final licence will not be issued until the full fee has been paid.
Bulk payments
Bulk payments can be taken for agents with multiple properties.
How to pay
The fee can be paid using a UK based debit or credit card.
