    Coming Soon: Phase 2 of Short-Term Accommodation Licensing Service

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [21 November 2024] – On Monday, November 18, Council approved the Short-Term Accommodation Licensing By-law 2024-078 to implement Phase 2 of the Short-Term Accommodation (STA) Licensing Service. While the By-law has been enacted and passed, it will not come into full force and effect until January 6, 2025.

    The STA Licensing Service was developed to better manage the growing presence of short-term accommodation in our community. This initiative seeks to balance the needs of the community, reduce impacts on long-term housing, and address key concerns such as noise, parking, and safety.

    Phase 2 will expand the types of short-term accommodation permitted in Collingwood by introducing two new licence classes:

    • Class B – Principal Residence: Allows residents to rent their entire single-detached dwelling if it is their principal residence.
    • Class C – Additional Residential Unit: Permits property owners to rent an additional residential unit on the same lot as a single-detached dwelling, provided the single-detached dwelling is their principal residence.

    The application process for Phase 2 is scheduled to open on January 6, 2025. Please note, this launch date may be delayed if appeals are filed during the Zoning By-law Amendment appeal period. Should there be any changes to the launch date, updated will be communicated on the Short-Term Accommodation Licensing Service webpage.
