Registration Overview
To help more families find a place to live, and to build on actions underway to make homes available for people, and not for speculators, the Province launched a short-term rental registry. Registration fees support the short-term rental enforcement program and help ensure homes are being used for people living and working in B.C.
Hosts, platforms, and strata hotel platforms operating in B.C. must follow a simple online process to register with the Province.
