Introduction
This is the first statistical publication reporting on the operation of the short term lets licensing scheme under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (Licensing of Short-term Lets) Order 2022.
Local authority licensing schemes opened to receive applications from 1 October 2022, although existing hosts and operators have until 1 October 2023 to apply for a licence and can continue operating whilst their applications are being determined. After this date they will not be able to operate until they make an application and a licence has been granted.
This publication reports on data from the first two reporting quarters Oct to Dec 2022 and Jan to Mar 2023. Future publications are intended to be on a quarterly basis, with the next publication covering the period April to June 2023 planned for around late October 2023. Further information on the operational context and data collection and data quality is available in the Data and Methodology section.
