In consultation with WSP Canada, the Town is working to create a program for short-term rental accommodations that will include consideration of amendments to the Official Plan, Zoning By-law, and Licensing By-law, as well as a municipal accommodation tax. Participate in the open house sessions to learn more about short term rental accommodations, watch a detailed presentation from WSP Canada and provide your feedback. A recording of the November 1 virtual session will be shared online after the event for those unable to attend.

A short-term rental or short-term accommodation is when all or part of a dwelling unit is used to provide over-night accommodations for a period that is equal to or less than 28 consecutive days in exchange for payment.

Beginning May 19, 2022 all property owners who offer a short term rental accommodation in Bracebridge are required to register their property and obtain a licence to operate legally in accordance with By-law No. 2022-032.
