Péninsule de Northern Bruce
When deciding whether to become an Airbnb host, it is important for you to understand the laws in your region or city. As a platform and online marketplace we do not provide legal advice, but we want to provide resources that may help you better understand applicable laws and regulations. This list is not exhaustive, but it may give you a good start in understanding your local laws. If you have questions, visit the short-term rental homepage or other government agencies directly, or consult a local lawyer or tax professional.
Actions a Host needs to take
- Apply for your short-term accommodation (STA) licence, if you need help completing the steps, you can visit the Municipality’s short-term accommodation guidebook
- Once your application has been reviewed, staff will arrange an inspection before issuing your licence
- Once you’ve obtained a licence, you’ll need to update your listing to include the registration number
- It’s important to note that licences are valid for a period of one (1) year from the date of issue and you’ll need to renew annually
Short-term rental regulations
- The Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula requires all operators of STA rentals to obtain a short-term accommodation licence; monthly rentals (those of 30 or more consecutive days) do not require a licence.
- Operators of short-term rental properties must obtain a short-term accommodation licence; STAs operating without a licence will risk incurring a penalty of $900 CAD plus additional fines. Learn more.
