BUILDING & RENOVATING

Short-term rentals

As of April 6, 2022, Council approved a Short-Term Rentals (STR) program. On May 1, 2024 Council approved By-law 2024-049-LI amending the previous By-law. A STR is the use of a Dwelling Unit or part of a Dwelling Unit for temporary overnight Guest accommodation for a period of not more than 28 consecutive days, and shall not include a hotel, motel, retirement home, or garden suite as defined by the Zoning by-law.

Every Owner operating STRs shall Licence the STR with the Legislative Services Coordinator pursuant to the Licensing By-law.
