Is your property available to let commercially for 140 days or more? If so, it will need to be rated as a self-catering holiday accommodation and valued for business rates, rather than council tax.

Please use this form to request that the property is valued for business rates.

'Commercially' is understood to mean with a view to making a profit. This would require that the property is let at market rates and actively advertised in the usual places, such as tourism and hospitality company websites.

From 1 April 2023, the rules regarding self-catering and holiday let premises have changed. Please see the GOV.UK website for more information.

Use this form to:

• Request the change from domestic to commercial use

What happens next?

The application will be sent to the relevant department for review.

What you'll need to provide?

• Contact details of the individual completing the application (including correspondence address)
• Property description (including address of property concerned, property type and number of bedrooms)
• Availability and charges (including high and low season charges)
