We’re launching a registry that will require anyone who wants to operate a short term rental in BC to register with the Province.
Hosts must display their provincial registration number on all online listings by May 1, 2025. Listings without a registration number will be removed starting June 1, 2025.
Hosts will receive a 50% discount if they register by Feb 28, 2025 or a 25% discount by March 31, 2025. Revenue from the program will support STR enforcement and compliance throughout communities in BC.
This registry requirement is in addition to local municipality rules and business license requirements.
