# Logan Lake short-term rental rules (Airbnb, Vrbo)

**Question:** Can I rent out my home or a room on Airbnb in Logan Lake?

**Short answer:** Logan Lake's Zoning Bylaw 675 has no short-term rental rules, only bed and breakfast rules in some zones. The Province's principal residence requirement does not apply in Logan Lake, but provincial registration still does. A bed and breakfast with 3 or more rooms needs a District business licence.

**Who handles it:** More than one level of government  
**Cost:** Bed and breakfast or accommodation rental business licence: $100 up to 15 rooms, $10 per room over 15. Provincial registration: $100 a year for the host's principal residence unit, $450 for a secondary unit.

## How it works

The District of Logan Lake's [Zoning Bylaw 675](https://loganlake.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Zoning-675-2010-Consolidated.pdf) has no short-term rental rules, but it permits bed and breakfasts in some zones (R1, R2, AR, ER, RR) with limits. Logan Lake is on the Province's exempt list, so the provincial principal residence requirement does not apply here. Provincial registration still does: the Province requires registration for rentals of fewer than 90 consecutive days, even where no local licence is needed.

A draft Zoning Bylaw 964, 2026 would prohibit short-term rentals in all zones, but it is not adopted. Ask the Municipal Office for its status.

## Steps

1. Register with the Province as a host.
2. If you run a bed and breakfast with 3 or more rooms, get a District business licence under [Bylaw 718](https://loganlake.civicweb.net/document/3878/) (Accommodation Rentals, for R5, C1, C3, C4 zones or a bed and breakfast).
3. Display the licence, as the bylaw requires.

## Good to know

- Bed and breakfast limits: 2 let bedrooms and 5 persons (R1, R2); 3 and 8 (AR, ER); 5 and 13 (RR). It must be inside the dwelling, with one sign of 0.2 m², breakfast only to registered guests, and one outside employee.
- Parking: 1 space per let room on the same parcel, hard-surfaced.
- Fines: no business licence is a $100 ticket and failing to display a licence is $50. Zoning tickets are $250 for development contrary to the bylaw, $100 for contravening zoning regulations and $50 for conditions of use. Court conviction carries a penalty of not less than $5,000.
