Short term lets public register
Information for the public register
In accordance with the requirements of the legislation, the licensing authority must publish a register containing details of all short term licence applications which have been received.
The short term let licensing public register will be published by The Highland Council on at least a monthly basis.
The public register which is published on our website is not a “live” register and it is not automatically updated when a change is made to an application. For example, where a licence application is received or a licence issued, the published register will not be updated automatically and any such change will only be reflected when the next register is published.
The public register contains data based on the information which was submitted by an applicant at the point when they submitted their application form. If the application has been subsequently amended by an applicant, such amendments may not appear on the entry in the public register.
