Premises licence fees

If you are applying for a premises licence, the fee you pay depends on your property’s rateable value. You will pay a one‑off application fee and an annual fee to keep your licence active. If you want to make a major change to your licence, you will pay a reduced fee.

Application fees

• Category 1 (no rateable value or clubs): £200
  Major variation: £133.33
• Category 2 (£1 to £11,500): £800
  Major variation: £533.33
• Category 3 (£11,501 to £35,000): £1,100
  Major variation: £733.33

  Major variation: £866.66

  Major variation: £1,133.33
• Category 6 (over £140,000): £2,000
