You should have now completed the online application form and be ready to make a payment for the HMO Licence.
We are able to accept payment in the following ways:
By BACS - Account Number: 56587619
Sort Code: 60-21-37
Reference: Quote 008SPC366 first line of address of HMO (there is a maximum number of characters, please insert as much of the address as possible)
By Credit/Debit card - please contact us by telephone on 01872 324110.
By cheque - Please make your cheque payable to Cornwall Council and state on the back of the cheque that it is for an HMO Licence and the address of the property that the licence relates to.
What happens after I’ve paid my fee?
If you have paid by cheque we will send you a copy of the receipt. If the application form you submitted had all the required information, it will be passed to an officer for validation and processing.
If there is some information missing from your application we will contact you to let you know what we need. You will have 7 days to provide this information.
How long does it take to process my application?
We aim for all applications to be processed within 40 working days of an application being validated and accepted by the authority as complete.
In some circumstances beyond the Council's control such as delays caused by awaiting payment of fees or safety certification etc from applicants it may take longer to process an application.
In these circumstances we commit to processing a licence within 3 months.
If a licence cannot be progressed in this timescale it is likely the application will be rejected.
