HostReadyPrince Edward County (Ontario) requires a Short-Term Accommodation (STA) Licence under By-Law 108-2021 (amended by 167-2022). The bylaw defines two primary residence categories: hosts who occupy the dwelling year-round, and hosts who are on-site except for up to 45 days per year. Bed-and-Breakfast Establishments are a separate category requiring owner occupancy and limited to four guest rooms. Applicants must submit proof of insurance, a floor plan, and a site plan, and properties are subject to county inspection in the first year of operation. Fines apply for operating without a licence, advertising without a licence, or failing to display the licence number on advertisements.
