Fees for street naming and numbering
Birmingham City Council charges fees to cover the administrative costs of administering and updating new street names and addresses.
You must check that the property is inside the Birmingham area before applying. We cannot address properties in another council area. You can check the responsible council on GOV.UK website.
You will need a debit or credit card to complete the application.
The following costs apply for:
- the numbering of properties
- renaming of an existing property or individual units within
- renumbering due to a change of layout
Payment of fees for addressing is currently being processed manually whilst our application form is updated.
The team will contact you to confirm the fee payable. If you require an invoice, add it as note to your form.

The fees will change on 1 April 2026.
