The ASSC is gathering information from self-catering operators across Scotland to better understand when Short-Term Let (STL) licences officially commence. Reports vary, with some operators advised that the licence date begins at application, and others told it starts only once the licence is granted.
As renewal periods draw closer, understanding this distinction is more important than ever. The start date directly affects renewal cycles, fees and forward planning, so building an accurate picture across Scotland is essential.
Our current survey on the NDR Revaluation includes a key additional question on STL licensing. If you haven’t yet taken part, we would greatly appreciate your response. Your insight will support our work to secure clearer, more consistent guidance for the sector.
