Short Term Rental Accommodations
A Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STR) means a dwelling unit used to provide temporary accommodation for not more than 29 consecutive days and does not include a hotel or motel unless otherwise prohibited by by-law of the Municipality of Wawa. Short-Term Rentals (STRs) allow for residents to offer a place of accommodation or temporary residence through online platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, Kijiji etc.
The Short-Term Rental Accommodation Licensing Program was initiated by the Municipality of Wawa to address community concerns and to ensure all rentals operate safely in accordance with the Short-Term Rental By-law 3704-24, the Ontario Fire Code, the Ontario Building Code and Municipal By-laws. Council passed By-law 3704-24 on April 16th, 2024 to regulate STRs within the Municipality of Wawa. Residents and property owners who wish to rent their property for a period of 29 days or less are required to obtain a licence.
