I do not have a CLUE about TPO's, but if what the council are doing is a statutory function, then no, they cannot charge for it unless this is provided for in the legislation. An example would be that they cannot charge to empty your bin as they have a statutory duty to do this..

They already do charge you to empty your bin . Council tax .

I don't think advising is a statutory function, making the decision to apply a TPO is and they don't charge for that.
