The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to advise the public that the Town has transitioned to using Cloud Permit for managing the Short-Term Accommodation licensing process.
Effective April 20, 2026, all new applications and re-registrations for Short-Term Accommodation licenses must be submitted through Cloud Permit. This new system is designed to streamline the application process, improve efficiency and provide a more user-friendly experience for applicants.
Through Cloud Permit, applicants will be able to:
- Submit new license applications
- Complete re-registrations
- Upload required documentation
- Track application status
- Make payments for the license
- Download documents and the issued license from the portal
Short-term Accommodation operators can now create an account to access the portal. Users who have already have a Cloud Permit account will not need a new account. Only one account should be created per license holder or management company.
All applications submitted before April 20, 2026, will continue to be processed through the previous method. Any applications that were started but not submitted before April 20 must be resubmitted through Cloud Permit. Existing license holders must use the new system for their next renewal cycle.
The Town would like to remind the public that operating a Short-Term Accommodation without a valid license remains a violation of municipal by-laws and may result in penalties or enforcement action. Operators must also sign up for the Municipal Accommodation Tax registration to be in compliance with current regulations. Operators can register for the Municipal Accommodation Tax online.
