How it works
The Zoning Bylaw No. 64-2013 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 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
- Check your zone allows short-term rental (see the zoning-lookup answer).
- Call the Village office (250-559-4765) about the business licence.
- Register with the Province's registry.
- 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.
