Check the council for your Herefordshire property

This entry covers the Herefordshire Council area, rather than only the city of Hereford. Its housing page links to landlord information and houses in multiple occupation; use those local routes for housing questions alongside the national register.

Which rental properties are in scope?

GOV.UK's guidance covers private landlords with occupied properties in England let on assured or regulated tenancies. Supported exempt accommodation is an exception. During the rollout, register properties that are let now or become let during it by the relevant regional deadline.

What will your first property cost?

Estimate your first property's first year only. The annual property fee is £65, with no VAT. Days before 15 November 2027 are free; one year thereafter costs £65.

Date you register your first property

The service opens on 15 December 2026. Your regional deadline still applies.

Later properties share the renewal date set by your first property. Their fee needs a separate calculation using that date, so do not use this calculator for them.

Estimated first-year property fee

£5.34

First registered 15 December 2026.

Next annual renewal: 15 December 2027
Annual period: 365 days
Free days before 15 November 2027: 335
Chargeable days: 30

GOV.UK worked example: register your first property on 15 December 2026, renew on 15 December 2027. Of 365 days, 335 are free and 30 are chargeable. £65 × 30 ÷ 365, rounded down to the penny, gives £5.34.

How the estimate works

We count calendar days to the next anniversary and round down using whole pennies. The annual period can contain 365 or 366 days. Free days stop before 15 November 2027 and never fall below zero. For a first registration on 29 February in a later leap year, this estimate uses 28 February as the next renewal; confirm that renewal date with the official service.

What records should you have ready?

Start with property details, a correspondence address in England or Wales and any managing agent, superior landlord and freeholder contact details. Keep your tenancy and rent information, gas safety evidence if there is gas, electrical safety evidence, Energy Performance Certificate and any property licence details together.

GOV.UK allows you to submit the property registration and supply outstanding additional information within 28 days. Missing that deadline can deactivate the registration. Check the official guidance for the evidence that applies to your property.

Rental registration in Herefordshire: your questions

When do West Midlands landlords have to register?

The West Midlands registration window, including Herefordshire, runs from 15 December 2026 to before midnight on 14 March 2027. GOV.UK says occupied properties in scope must be registered by the regional end date. Confirm the council for your property by postcode and always confirm on GOV.UK.

How much is the register fee?

Landlord registration is free. The property fee is £65 a year per property, with no VAT. The first year's fee disregards days before 15 November 2027. GOV.UK's example for a first property registered on 15 December 2026 is £5.34, renewing on 15 December 2027. Later properties share the original renewal date.

Does registration replace a council property licence?

No. The national Register your rental property service is separate from local property licensing. Check any HMO, additional or selective licensing requirements with the council responsible for the property's address. County headings in the regional list do not identify a district licensing authority.
