An updated licensing program for short-term accommodations is now in effect for Prince Edward County.
County Council approved the changes in September.
Changes to the licensing program have resulted in two categories of STAs: primary residence STAs and secondary residence STAs.
A primary residence STA means a short-term accommodation in which one or two dwelling units on the property are occupied by accommodated guests.
A secondary residence STA means an STA in which one or two dwelling units on the property are entirely occupied by accommodated guests.
The municipality will no longer issue NEW secondary residence STA licences for applications submitted after September 20, 2022. Applications for secondary residence STAs already in the system will be processed. New licence applications already in the system will be processed according to the licensing by-law that existed at the time of submission.
For information you can call 613.476.2148 extension 2050 or 613.962.9108 extension 2050.
