Landlords Face £200 Fee for Missing Selective Licensing Deadline
North East Lincolnshire Council has announced that landlords who miss the deadline for submitting selective licensing applications will face a £200 late fee. The council’s selective licensing scheme began in April this year, with a final application deadline set for 8 October.
According to Property118, the council stated that the £200 late application fee is not “intended to be punitive” for landlords. However, any applications received after 8 October will incur this additional charge.
Letting agents and inventory clerks operating in North East Lincolnshire should be aware of the deadline and ensure that all relevant properties are registered under the scheme before the cut-off date to avoid the late fee.
