All HMOs with five or more people require a mandatory HMO licence (required England-wide under the Housing Act 2004). All other HMOs in Oxford must have a licence under the Council's Additional Licence scheme. For more information please read our Report a HMO page.

If you suspect a property may be an HMO without a licence you can report it anonymously for us to investigate.

Please use this form to report a suspected unlicenced HMO. Any information that you provide will be held in the strictest confidence.

This form usually takes about 5 minutes to complete. Please note that after 60 minutes of inactivity the form will time out and any information you have entered will be lost.
