What You'll Do

The Levy Collection Officer will support the administration of Building Safety Levy processes, including determining levy chargeability and liability, issuing levy determination notices, arranging spot checks, receiving payments and issuing payment certificates, dealing with requests for reviews from developers and Quarterly Management Information & revenue transfer to MHCLG.

The role involves collaboration with internal teams (e.g. Finance, Planning, Building Control) and external stakeholders (e.g. the Building Safety Regulator, Registered Building Control Approvers, developers), ensuring clear communication in line with Local Authority procedures.

This role contributes to timely and accurate levy collection in accordance with relevant regulations and financial protocols.

The level of ownership or leadership may vary depending on how each Local Authority structures its levy administration.
This role plays a key part in ensuring the Local Authority meets its obligations under the Building Safety Levy and contributes to the wider goals of improving building safety and help keep our residents safe. The postholder will support continuous improvement through feedback, collaboration, and process refinement.
