Short-Term Rental Accommodation Waiting List Application
On October 25, 2021, Bylaw 2021.87 was passed and amended STRA Licensing Bylaw 2020.11 to include a minimum setback between licenced STRA locations in the Township. Under the new setback requirements, a new licence to operate a short-term rental accommodation shall not be granted to a property owner/operator if the proposed STRA location is within 300 metres of a property currently holding an STRA license.
The Township has created a Waiting List to determine the priority in which the Township shall issue new licenses if a license becomes available. If your proposed STRA location is within 300 metres of a currently licensed location, please complete the application below to be added to the waiting list. Names shall be added to the waiting list based on the date and time they are received and will determine the priority in which new licenses are issued.
To determine if you're within 300 metres of a licenced location, please consult the following:
- Current list of licensed locations (found below)
- Township's STRA mapping (click 'Short-Term Rental Buffer' under Bylaw)
- Contacting the Township at jpopple@ramara.ca .
Questions

Suppose a license becomes available for your location. In that case, the Township will contact you and provide you with fifteen (15) days to file a completed application along with payment of the licensing fee, failure to file the completed application within this time will result in your name being removed from the list and the next person contacted. |
How do I determine if my proposed STRA location is within 300-metre of another STRA location? |
To determine if you're within 300 metres of a licenced location, please consult the following:
|
I have determined I am not within 300 metres of another STRA location, can I apply for a STRA licence? |
If you are an owner or operator of a proposed STRA location and are not located within 300 metres of a licensed STRA location, you are not required to apply for the waiting list, and you may complete a standard application for a license. |
