Submitting a Regulatory Application

Crofts and common grazings are a valuable resource that should be available for both now and in the future, for
existing crofters and new entrants to crofting, to use  productively.


In order to make changes to their croft, crofters are required to submit regulatory applications to the Crofting Commission for consent to do so.


Please use the form wizard below to access the correct application form for your needs.

Information about our application types

Please do NOT send documents that contain personal or sensitive information e.g Death Certificate, Wills, medical records etc.

The majority of regulatory applications have to be publicly advertised by the applicant.  The exceptions are part and whole croft decroftings, new crofts and new common grazings which are advertised by the Crofting Commission.
