Short-Term Rental Licensing

Short-Term Rental Accommodations (STRs) allow for residents to offer a place of accommodation or temporary residence through online platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, Kijiji etc. 

Council passed By-law 22-017 on August 11th, 2022 to regulate STRs within the Township. For background information please visit the accordion below titled: Council Reports, Presentations and Background Information.

The Short-Term Rental Accommodation licensing program was initiated by the Township of Tiny to address community concerns and to ensure all rentals operate safely in accordance with the Short-Term Rental By-law 22-017, the Fire Protection Standards, the Ontario Building Code and Township By-laws. Residents and property owners who wish to rent their property for a period of 28 days or less are required to obtain a licence.

Short-Term Rental Licence Applications are being accepted until a total of 300 Applications have been received. Once 300 Licence Applications have been received, the application process will be closed until the number of Licences issued falls below the 300 limit set out in By-law 22-017, as amended.
