Short-Let Licence Applications
Due to a recent change in Scottish laws, all holiday and short-let accommodation in Scotland will now require a licence to operate and welcome guests. This includes holiday cottages, B&Bs, guest houses, rooms within a home, and unconventional accommodations such as pods and yurts.
All properties must have their licence in place by 1st October 2023 to keep trading.
Fear not, the Heritage team is here to help! We can fill out and submit the application on your behalf, and we will keep you right throughout the process, making sure you have all of the checks in place. Each council area has different requirements which you can see below.
