    ??? I never hard of such a requirement for Tax.
    Anyway you can get a fire commissioning cert stating that your house conforms to IS3218 (with domestic considerations) from a company like , Chubb fire, Bell fire , Siemans Fire , Professional fire, Novar etc there are loads of places.
    Otherwise if its an actual fire cert detailing a fire wall between your house and a garage etc then you need to go to an architect, a local architect would suit you best, one who does extensions etc, I'd say that this is the option you should take as the commissioning cert would really be for insurance reasons.

    What is the type of building / size?

    An achitect usually can do a fire safety cert application (which is submitted to the council Fire Officer). For more complicated buildings or uses a fire engineer may be involved.

    The concept of "Not Applicable - Single Occupancy House" comes to mind, but check with council / architect.

    We thought so too, but as it's a govt scheme we figured they'd make it as difficult and annoying as possible.
    Have considered sending in the application without the cert (we have everything else)

    ASK! I imagine it's a catch all form that is designed for use with holiday apartment applications and the like.
