SELECTIVE LICENSING · REVIEWED RECORD

Liverpool selective licensing: 2022 commencement

Liverpool’s current selective designation covers a defined area of the city and remains in operation while a separate future-scheme consultation is open.

Evidence reviewed Recorded period: to Revision 1
The exact address needs a boundary check.

This is a partial-area designation. Ward names and postcodes cannot by themselves establish whether this property is covered. Use the council map or address service.

Which properties does the designation cover?

The designated area in the 2021 confirmation notice, using its historical ward boundaries. Current address coverage must be checked in Liverpool’s official lookup.

  • Privately rented homes inside the confirmed designation area, unless exempt.

Scope, exclusions and separate checks

Exact address coverage remains manual. The designation uses historical ward boundaries; a current council lookup and exemption review are needed. The future consultation is not an adopted renewal.

  • Part 2 HMO-licensed properties, temporary exemptions and management orders require the appropriate separate route.
  • Statutory exempt tenancies, including defined social housing and resident landlord arrangements, need individual assessment.

Fees and the council application

Use Liverpool’s current fee schedule and application process for your property. This record does not infer a fee from another council or a past year. A Rental Licensing subscription does not pay the council, submit an application or grant a licence.

What to do next

  1. Use Liverpool’s exact-address lookup and contact the council if the address is missing.
  2. Do not treat the future-scheme consultation as an adopted renewal.
