In February 2023, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) published a consultation seeking views on the council tax valuation of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). This followed concerns from landlords and tenants that individual rooms in HMOs have increasingly been assessed as separate units for the purposes of council tax valuation and therefore given their own council tax band.
The government wants to provide greater certainty and consistency in the way that HMOs are treated for council tax, and to ensure that HMOs are banded as one property and have one council tax band. It also wishes to ensure that liability for council tax remains with the HMO landlord, and that their tenants are not subject to individual council tax bills.
The consultation sought views on proposed approaches to achieving these objectives. It closed on 31 March 2023 and the government has considered all responses received.
This document Council tax valuation of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) - responses summarises views received during consultation and does not attempt to capture every point made. It deals with the questions posed in the consultation grouped by topic. It also sets out the government’s response to the consultation, including its approach to implementation.
