Earlier this year, the four lower-tier Haliburton County municipal councils agreed to move the issue of regulating short-term rentals in Haliburton County to the upper tier of local government at the Haliburton County level.
Over the past few years, each of the county’s four municipal councils have had conversations about introducing regulations and licensing programs for the operation of short-term rentals. In some cases, this has involved public meetings and surveys, but no policies were established at the municipal level.
At the November 24 County Council meeting, Haliburton County announced the selection of a consultant for a Short Term Rental review which includes developing Short-Term Rental policies and regulations for all of Haliburton County. The report to County Council can be found here.
The KLCOA will endeavour to keep our members informed as the STR work at the County progresses.
