Following the successful application to the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Birmingham City Council has been granted permission for a selective licensing scheme.

The 25 wards are:
- Acocks Green

- Birchfield
- Bordesley Green
- Bordesley and Highgate
- Bournbrook and Selly Park
- Edgbaston

The Council expect landlords will be able to apply for a licence from 22 May 2023.
Each licence will cost £700 and last for five years, and landlords that have more than one property will need a license for each property they own.
Enforcement of the scheme will start from 4 September 2023 to enable landlords in the affected areas sufficient time to apply for a licence.
