Prince Edward County council clarifies short term accommodation by-law
Prince Edward County council has rescinded the old by-law concerning short term accommodations and replaced it with a new, more clear by-law.
At Tuesday’s council meeting, council discussed a staff report regarding the lack of clarity on the current STA by-law with regards to how it differentiates whole home, owner occupied and bed & breakfasts.
The issue with the lack of definition between the three led to problems with how they’re regulated differently.
The staff report recommended that council rescind the old by-law, enacted in 2019, and approve the new by-law which has clear definitions of the three types and language changes in the regulations to eliminate any ambiguity in enforcing them.
