Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)
Guidance on the recent change to how Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) are valued for Council Tax in England.
Applies to England
From 1 December 2023 all HMOs in England are to be valued as a single property (aggregated) for Council Tax purposes.
These amendments to legislation apply to all HMOs (including both licensed and unlicensed HMOs).
If you own or live in a licensed or unlicensed HMO which is not currently aggregated and you are liable to pay Council Tax, you must submit a proposal for us to bring your Council Tax banding in line with new legislation.
We have a statutory four-month deadline to respond to such proposals.
