Short Term Rentals

Short Term Rentals

On July 18, 2023 Council adopted By-law 026-2023 to License and Regulate Short-Term Rentals in the Township of Wainfleet.

The by-law aims to ensure compliance with Fire Code, Building Code, other applicable law and Township By-laws, and establishes a system of demerit points and monetary penalty fines for violations including (but not limited to) operating and advertising without a licence, noise, nuisance, parking and safety which will encourage short-term rental owners into supplying a safe, responsible, and respectful accommodation. Licensing short-term rentals in the Township is now mandatory.

The Township is in the process of recruiting a STR Licence Administrator/By-law Enforcement Officer.

The public will receive notice via our website, news items and socials as to the opening start date STR Licence Applications will become available for the 2024 Rental Season! Check back often.

You can also subscribe to this page to receive updates regarding STRs in Wainfleet.
