Short Term Rentals

Short-term rentals are when people rent out their residence, or part of their residence, for less than 28 consecutive days for a fee. Platforms, such as Airbnb and VRBO, offer a service where individuals can advertise and book their short-term rental.
In 2023, Burlington City Council asked staff to review the rules and requirements for zoning, business licences, and resources needed to create and run a city-wide Short-Term Rental Compliance and Licensing Program. Community input was collected to inform City Council and City staff in the development and implementation of a city-wide Short-Term Rental Compliance and Licensing Program. A report, including the findings from the City’s engagement was shared with Burlington City Council on Jan. 13, 2025
