Changes to Provincial Short Term Rentals & Tourism Accommodation Registration

Posted on:
August 13, 2024

Tourism accommodation and short term rental operators in Victoria County are required by the Province of Nova Scotia to register their tourism accommodations. As of September 2024, the Province is requiring that operators show proof of compliance with Municipal land use by-laws and has advised operators to contact their Municipality for more information.

The Municipality of the County of Victoria has a contract with the Eastern District Planning Commission to produce zoning related documents and letters on behalf of the Municipality.

Operators should contact the Eastern District Planning Commission in writing to request the required document by emailing: rentals@edpc.ca.

Please note that it can take time to process your request, so operators should contact them as soon as possible.

Operators should take note that it is an offence to operate Short Term Rentals and Tourism Accommodations in Nova Scotia without a valid registration number, and that the Province has increased the fines for offences.
