Consultation has concluded
On NOVEMBER 2, 2021 Welland City Council decided to APPROVE a City Wide Zoning By-law Amendment to permit Short-Term Rental accommodations in the City. A Short-Term Rental Licencing By-law and Administrative Penalty System (APS) was passed in conjunction with the Zoning.
The Short-Term Rental Licensing By-law is set to take effect on January 31st, 2022.
The By-law Enforcement Division will be responsible for enforcing the regulations contained within the Short-Term Rental Licencing By-law. The Licencing By-law will be enforced through two mechanisms: Administrative Penalty System (APS) and a demerit point system. As well, an Officer will have the ability to suspend or revoke a licence. Licensing will ensure all Short-Term Rentals within the City of Welland are operating in accordance with applicable law.
A Short-Term Rental webpage has been developed on the City’s website to provide residents and short-term rental operators with relevant information. This includes but is not limited to information in regards to applying for a Short Term Rental Licence as well as information pertaining to reporting an issue or concern related to a short-term rental in your neighbourhood.
