We provide the highest level of care for your home. Unlike many other companies, we do not burden our owners with a host of “nickel & dime” fees.

Is your Property Zoned for Nightly Rentals?
If you own a property in Whistler and are considering providing tourist accommodation, you must ensure you have the required business licence or the property manager you work with holds a valid one. You must also ensure the regulations related to your property permit tourist accommodation use. Your property is regulated by zoning or a land use contract (LUC). It may also have further obligations and restrictions in covenants registered on the title of the property.
You can use the Resort Municipality of Whistler’s (RMOW’s) online GIS mapping system to determine the zoning or LUC applicable to the property:
- Click on this link for the RMOW’s GIS Interactive Mapping Tool(link is external).
- Enter a property address or place the cursor over the property on the GIS map.
- If the zoning category information displays “LUC”, the property is subject to a land use contract. You will need to contact the Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia (LTSA) to obtain the LUC. You can then review the LUC to determine if temporary tourist accommodation is permitted on the property. You may contact lawyers, notaries, land surveyors or independent registry agents to obtain documents from the LTSA. The LTSA provides links to contact information here(link is external).
- If a zoning category is displayed, you can click on the link to take you directly to that zone in Zoning and Parking Bylaw No. 303, 2015. You can then review the “Permitted Uses” to determine if temporary tourist accommodation is allowed in the zone. A zone must include in its “Permitted Use” section the defined term “tourist accommodation” or a specific clause of permission for a building or dwelling unit to be used for temporary lodging by visitors. See the “Zoning Bylaw Definitions” section below for more information.
Please visit the Resort Municipality of Whistler for more information on business licences and how to determine permitted uses for your property/unit.
Tourist Accommodation Business Licences
Business licences are now required for all tourist accommodation activity, including the marketing of properties/units. If your unit is rented solely through a property management company, you are covered by their business licence. All other tourist accommodation owners marketing their unit(s) or providing any related services are required to obtain a licence. For more information about business licences for tourist accommodation activity, click the link provided.
