Fees

The fees are variable depending on the duration of the licence. Click below to open our Fees page

Once you have a licence granted for your business, the Licensing Authority will write and send to you a renewal pack at least before the expiry date of your current licence.

On receipt of the application pack you are required to apply to renew your existing licence and return the application at a minimum of 10 weeks prior to your expiry.

Checks will be carried out by our Health & Safety Team prior to your licence being renewed and therefore you are required to give as much notice as possible by completing the renewal form on receipt to enable these checks to be booked in with you and carried out prior to your licence being renewed.

You may email the application to general.licensing@nottinghamcity.gov.uk

The initial application fee shall be taken at the time of processing the application. The grant fee shall be taken at the time of the grant of licence.
