Short-Term Rental Registration and Compliance in the RDCK
In most zoned areas of the RDCK’s electoral areas, Short-Term Rentals (STRs) are not permitted. Property owners should review zoning regulations to determine whether STRs are allowed on their property.
The RDCK does not currently have a business licensing system and does not issue business licenses. As a result, there are no business licensing requirements for Short-Term Rentals in the RDCK.
STR operators must register their rentals with the Province of British Columbia and comply with all applicable RDCK regulations including zoning regulations, Official Community Plans, and Land Use Bylaws. Provincial registration and data-sharing requirements remain in effect and are enforced by the Province.
