Please Note:
This dataset attempts to create a location point for each license, however, with the published spreadsheet missing key identifiers and not adhering to the Scottish Government's requirements, some inaccuracies exist. Improvements to the data will be introduced with further processing. The dataset also contains processing verification fields that are not seen in the supplying spreadsheet and are for processing reference only.
Introduction:
Short-term let licensing was introduced across Scotland in October 2022. It means that anyone who wants to offer accommodation as a short-term let must get a licence from their council, unless that accommodation is excluded by law.
There are 4 types of short-term let licence.
Home sharing licence
You need this type of licence if you let out all or part of your own home while living there.
Home letting licence
You need this type of licence if you let out all or part of your own home while you're not there. For example, you need this licence if you let out your home while you're on holiday.
Secondary letting licence
You need this type of licence if you let out a property you do not normally live in. For example, you need this licence if you let out a second home or holiday let.
Home letting and home sharing licence
You need this type of licence if you let out all or part of your own home both:
- while you're living there
- at times when you're not there
Types of accommodation that need a licence
Unless it's excluded, any type of accommodation used for short-term lets needs a licence.
This includes residential and commercial accommodation, such as:
- B&Bs and guesthouses
- chalets
- cottages
- lodges
- self-catering or holiday lets
- shepherds' huts
- tents, tipis or wigwams
