Short Term Rentals
The Municipality of East Ferris recently passed a by-law to regulate the use of rural and residential properties for Short Term Rentals. By-law 2022-36 provides rules and regulations around the operation of a Short Term Rental. A License from the Municipality is required to operate all Short Term Rentals.

Short Term Rental By-law 2022-36 

All persons in the municipality who wish to operate a Short Term Rental must apply for a License under this by-law. License’s are issued by the East Ferris Director of Community Services and are will only be issued to properties that meet the criteria required under the by-law. By-law 2022-36 designates a 2 month window for property owners to apply for Licensing. Starting on July 12^th, 2022, any person operating a Short Term Rental not in accordance with the provisions of By-law 2022-36 will be subject to fines under the by-law, in most cases accumulating on a daily basis. Please do not wait to apply for your License as there is a processing time associated with them as well. The application form may be found here:
