A HMO is a property occupied by unrelated and independently recruited tenants who each have a self-contained lockable room in the property.  A HMO permit is valid in community and guest house bays only.

Apply for a permit

The first person in a household to register for a HMO permit is issued with the authorisation card. This is shared with all residents in the HMO for buying visitor permits.

Application form

Download and complete the HMO application form.  Return the form with proof of residency, a copy of your vehicle registration document showing the relevant address and the correct payment to, Parking Services.
