Have questions or comments on the 2024 STR Program changes?  

Email planning@squamish.ca to share your thoughts.   

Have you heard? The Province introduced the Short-Term Rental Accommodations Act in the fall of 2023 to give local governments stronger tools to enforce STR bylaws and establish a new Provincial role in the regulation of STRs. An overview of the STR legislation can be found on the Province’s website here. 

How this impacts STR hosts in Squamish:  

If you are considering your home for short-term rental or as an Airbnb in 2024, find all the District’s licensing information on our STR licensing page 

December 2023 Update - New Provincial STR Regulations

The Province is regulating short-term rentals in response to the housing crisis and shortage of attainable and affordable long-term rentals. The new Short-Term Rental Accommodation Act (October 2023) applies to all STR operators in B.C. The Provincial regulation of short-term rentals will provide stronger tools to help increase compliance within the District of Squamish.  

What this means/how this impacts Squamish: 

As of May 1, 2024, the Province will also be implementing a principal residence requirement which will limit STRs to the host’s principal residence plus one secondary suite or accessory dwelling unit (ex: coach house). KEY NOTE: The provincial principal residence requirement is intended to be a “floor” or minimum standard for regulating STRs. The District of Squamish’s regulations are more restrictive and do not permit STR of secondary suites or accessory dwelling units (unless an STR Temporary Use Permit is successfully acquired).

Learn more about the Province’s regulations here. District staff will be bringing forward an update on Year 3 of the STR licencing program and the new Provincial regulations to Council in February 2024.  

If you are considering your home for short-term rental or as an Airbnb in 2024, find all the licencing information on our STR licensing page.

The selected option does not initially include the short-term rental of secondary suites or accessory dwellings (coach houses) as a precautionary approach, which will be followed by close monitoring and evaluation, so that the regulations can be adapted in the future once the impacts of STR regulation are better understood.

Staff has also been directed to consider the following:

Thanks to everyone who participated in the short-term rental survey this October. Over 470 responses were received!

We are now entering Stage 2 of the project which will run from November through to the end of January.

District staff are now summarizing and analyzing the results of the survey. Based on a synthesis of the community survey input, community priorities, policy objectives, and a review of best practices and learnings from other local governments experiences, we will formulate options for short-term rental regulation. A document summarizing the survey results, including an outline framing up a number of regulatory options and how they were formulated, will be presented back to community and Council for further engagement in January and February. Opportunities for consultation will include stakeholder focus group sessions as well as community wide pop-ups or open houses.

Stay tuned to this project webpage for upcoming opportunities to continue the STR conversation.

What are Short-Term Rentals? Are they permitted?

A short-term rental is the use of a dwelling unit, or any portion of it, as a rental unit for a period of less than 30 days and includes vacation rentals and bed and breakfasts (as defined in the District of Squamish Zoning Bylaw 2200, 2011). Currently short-term rentals are permitted in commercial zones as tourist accommodation (Hotels, Hostels, Motels) and on parcels zoned to permit licensed Bed and Breakfasts. For clarity, residential dwellings, Accessory Dwelling Units, Secondary Suites nor Multi-unit Flex Units (within strata-tiled two-unit or townhouse dwellings) are not permitted for use as short-term rentals.

Why regulate Short-Term Rentals?

With a local housing market inextricably connected to Metro Vancouver, Squamish housing costs have continued to rise. Benchmark prices for detached homes have reached $1 million, and have nearly doubled in the last five years; townhomes and apartment prices increased 16% and 32%, respectively, in the last year. A less than one percent rental vacancy rate persists. A growing affordability gap exists in Squamish and can exacerbate issues such as poverty and food insecurity, with particular concern for low- to moderate-income residents and vulnerable populations. These housing challenges are also impacting the community’s ability to provide adequate workforce housing and to attract and retain employees, vital to sustain a vibrant economy.

Considered a basic human right, a range and mix of housing options for residents of all ages, incomes and abilities are urgently needed. A core housing objective is to increase the supply, availability and access to affordable housing across the local housing spectrum/continuum. In 2018 the District adopted policy directing the creation of regulations to address short-term/vacation rentals that reduce the available inventory of rental housing, and to monitor and resource adequate enforcement of unauthorized rentals (Squamish2040 OCP Policy 12.12 f).

Participate in the conversation

The District has launched a community survey and corresponding background information to obtain the community’s perspectives and priorities on this important topic. The survey, open through October 31, 2018, will inform the development of options for discussion with Council and the community.
