The District is reviewing its approach to regulating short‑term rentals, such as Airbnb and VRBO, and is seeking input from the community to help inform future Council decisions.

What is a Short-Term Rental?

Short-term rentals are the rental of a residential home – or one or more rooms within it – for a short period of time. Short-term rentals are different from traditional Bed & Breakfasts because they usually involve the rental of an entire home and the host often isn't there.

Short-Term Rental - Bylaw Amendment Feedback

The District of Mackenzie has developed a proposed Short-Term Rental regulatory framework based on feedback received during the first phase of public engagement, research into regulations used by other British Columbia communities, and consideration of local housing, tourism, economic development, neighbourhood compatibility, and administrative capacity. Council is seeking feedback on the proposed amendments before considering adoption of the bylaws.

Deadline to Submit: Friday, November 18, 2026 at 4 PM

Estimated Time to Complete: 5-10 minutes

Sections:
- Pilot Program
- Principle Residence Requirement
- Business License Cap
- Accessory Buildings and Guest Bedrooms
- Parking Requirements
- Local Contact Requirement
- Guest Registry
- Enforcement

Input received during this engagement phase will help:
- Understand the level of community support for the proposed bylaw amendments
- Identify concerns, opportunities, and suggested changes
- Assist Council in evaluating the effectiveness and appropriateness of the proposed framework
- Inform Council's consideration of the bylaws prior to adoption

Your participation in this survey is anonymous. No personal identifying information will be collected or reported. Responses will be combined with those of other participants and summarized for Council's consideration as part of the Short-Term Rental review process.

Visit our LetsChatMackenzie website for further project information and to access the community survey.
