Armagh HMO Licensing — What Your Council Requires

Armagh is Northern Ireland's ecclesiastical capital with a modest HMO market driven by professional and key worker demand. As in all of Northern Ireland, HMO licensing is administered by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE) under the Houses in Multiple Occupation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. NIHE requires a fire risk assessment for all HMO licence applications.

  • HMO licensing in Northern Ireland is administered by NIHE under the HMO Act (NI) 2016
  • NIHE is the single licensing authority across all of Northern Ireland — not individual councils
  • Fire safety governed by the Fire and Rescue Services (NI) Order 2006 and Fire Safety Regulations (NI) 2010
  • Armagh has a modest HMO market — primarily professional and ecclesiastical sector workers
  • Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) works with NIHE on HMO fire safety compliance
