People who do not live on their property will need to pay $700 for a licence, in addition to going through a rezoning process to allow for the short term rentals.
Bed and breakfasts are included in the updated business licence bylaw, and will see their licence fees go up from a $125 flat rate, to $125 plus an additional $100 for each guest unit. However, because renewal letters are currently being sent out, this change won’t take place until Jan. 1, 2021.
