The rules come from Building Bylaw 741, 2008, which is posted as a scanned image that cannot be read, so the page does not list jobs that are exempt.

There is no separate short-term rental bylaw in the District's library, and the bylaw does not say whether renting a whole home is allowed, so ask the District before listing.\n\nThe bylaw does allow a bed and breakfast as an accessory use in the RU1, RU2, RU3, R1, R1A, R1B and R2 zones. Lodges and cabins for tourist accommodation are permitted in the OR zone.\n\nProvincially, Hudson's Hope is on the list of communities exempt from the [principal residence requirement](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/short-term-rentals/principal-residence-requirement). Provincial registration still applies to rentals under 90 consecutive days.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Call the District Office at 250-783-9901 to ask whether your rental fits the zoning.\n2. Ask whether a business licence applies. The [business licence page](https://hudsonshope.ca/business/business-license-info/) does not mention rentals; its general fee is $50.\n3. Register with the Province if you rent for fewer than 90 consecutive days.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Bed and breakfast rules (Zoning s. 4.14): the owner lives in the single-detached dwelling; no more than 3 guestrooms and 6 adult guests; breakfast is the only meal; one parking space per guestroom in addition to the dwelling's; sign no larger than 1 m²; stays of at most 28 consecutive days; bedrooms for sleeping only, with no cooking facilities.\n- Provincial registration fees: $100 a year for a principal residence unit, $450 a year for a secondary unit.\n- No penalty is specific to short-term rentals. The Zoning Bylaw lists \"unlawful land use\" at $100 per offence per day.","sources":[{"url":"https://hudsonshope.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-06-07-Zoning-Bylaw-No.-949-Clean-Version-with-Maps-ORIGINAL-SIGNED-BY-2.pdf","title":"District of Hudson's Hope Zoning Bylaw No. 949, 2024 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/short-term-rentals/principal-residence-requirement","title":"Short-term rental principal residence requirement, Province of BC","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://hudsonshope.ca/business/business-license-info/","title":"Business Licences, District of Hudson's Hope","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 5 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/hudsons-hope/short-term-rental/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/hudsons-hope/short-term-rental.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/hudsons-hope/short-term-rental.json"}}]}
