## How it works

The [Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013](https://daajinggiids.civicweb.net/document/25383/) defines a short-term rental as temporary accommodation of less than 30 days in a secondary suite, caretaker cottage, tiny home accessory building or principal residence. It is a permitted use in the LR, RR, THR, RO, C1 and C2 zones, and we did not find it listed in the MFR zone.

Under section 3, a business licence is required to operate a short-term rental, and one off-street parking space must be provided for each sleeping unit used. The Village's pages do not state the licence fee.

The Province's [list of exempt communities](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/short-term-rentals/principal-residence-requirement) includes Daajing Giids, so the provincial principal residence requirement does not apply here. Hosts offering stays under 90 consecutive days must still register each unit with the Province's Short-Term Rental Registry.

## Steps

1. Check your zone allows short-term rental (see the zoning-lookup answer).
2. Call the Village office (250-559-4765) about the business licence.
3. Register with the Province's registry.
4. Provide one parking space per sleeping unit.

## Good to know

- No fine for operating without a licence was found. Ask the office.
- The Village's posted consolidation of the zoning bylaw lists amendments only to Bylaw 152-2022 (August 15, 2022), and the bylaw still uses the former name, Village of Queen Charlotte.
