Are you looking to purchase a short-term rental property? There are many benefits to becoming a Canmore Airbnb host or a short-term rental provider, but before you do, it is crucial that you understand the zoning requirements.
When it comes to zoning, the town of Canmore has four key categories:
Residential Zoning
Properties within a residential zone are flexible, and these homes can either be lived in full-time or rented on a monthly basis. However, they can only have one particular group of tenants renting the property per 30 days. This is the most common form of zoning found in Canmore.
Tourist Zoning
This type of zoning is the most flexible as they not only permit full-time stay and long-term rental but also short-term. This makes them the perfect option for those looking for a Canmore Airbnb property.
Visitor Accommodation Zoning
Visitor zoning allows for semi-regular use, with stays of up to 30 days at a time for personal use. When not in use, property owners are able to rent it out to generate income, either by themselves or through the use of a Canmore Airbnb management company.
Employee Housing Zoning
The rarest form of zoning in Canmore, this type restricts ownership to either those who are working a minimum of 20 hours in the Bow Valley or to property owners who are renting out to employees that are working within this criteria.
