  We have introduced two new tools to support the Township of Muskoka Lakes’ Short Term Rental Accommodations (STRA) Program and improve public access to information.

  An interactive map is now available to help residents, visitors and prospective renters confirm whether a property is licensed as a short-term rental accommodation in Muskoka Lakes. The map provides a clear and accessible way to identify licensed properties operating under the Township’s STRA Licensing By-law. With a number of applications still under review, additional properties will be added as approvals are processed by the Township’s Licensing Officer.

  We have also launched a dedicated 24/7 reporting service for concerns related to short-term rentals. Concerns can now be submitted at any time through a local telephone hotline or online form, making it easier to report issues as they arise. To help facilitate this, the Township’s Short Term Rental Accommodation Licensing By-law 2025-049 has made it a requirement for operators to have a responsible person nearby to help address issues as they occur.

  • Telephone Hotline (local, toll-free): (249) 487-2299
  • Online Form: Report a Concern
  • In an emergency, call 911

  To ensure that the licensing process is efficient, compliant, and user-friendly, and due to unexpected technical issues, Council approved a new Short Term Rental Accommodation Licensing By-law 2025-049 on April 16, 2025. This By-law reflects proposed changes endorsed by Planning Committee on March 13, 2025 as well as some minor housekeeping, technical and administrative items.

  A copy of the new By-law can be found on the Township website. The key changes that were made are as follows:

  • Those who are operating an STRA in 2025 will be permitted to continue to advertise and operate through the end of the year, however they must submit their application by December 31, 2025.
  • Commencing May 1, 2026 rental restrictions that apply to Waterfront, R4 & Waterbody Open Space zones will come into effect. These restrictions are to cease all rentals for one week in each of June, July and August (the ‘Summer Monthly Break’) and to not provide the STRA to more than one Primary Renter (rental group) per every six (6) consecutive nights (the ‘Summer Rental Frequency’). All bookings must be in accordance with these restrictions commencing May 1, 2026.
  • The occupancy limit for an STRA is two (2) persons per bedroom. However, an applicant may request an increase of this number if they can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Township that the sewage disposal system serving the premises was designed and constructed in compliance with the Ontario Building Code to accommodate a higher occupancy number requested on the application.

  The Township expects to launch the online application portal by this summer and encourages all operators to submit their applications once the portal is live, as an influx of submissions is projected.

  Please subscribe to Engage Muskoka Lakes to receive the most up-to-date information from the Township on the launch of the application portal. Please also visit our Short Term Rentals page for information on application requirements and sample documents.

  Share March 2025 Update on Facebook Share March 2025 Update on Twitter Share March 2025 Update on Linkedin Email March 2025 Update link

  In late 2024, Council approved the Short Term Rental Accommodation Licensing By-law. To ensure that the licensing process is efficient, compliant, and user-friendly, and due to unexpected technical issues, at their March 2025 meeting Planning Committee recommended that the By-law be amended to reflect a revised implementation schedule.

  Should Council approve the recommendation in April the updated By-law would include the following key changes:

  • Both existing and new operators could continue to advertise and operate their Short Term Rental Accommodations without a license from the Township in 2025.
  • All operators would be required to submit applications for a license by December 31, 2025. Information on how to prepare to submit your application. is on the Short Term Rentals webpage.
  • While the summer rental restrictions remain unchanged, the amendments propose to delay implementation of these restrictions so that they would not come into effect until May 1, 2026. All summer 2026 bookings are to be in accordance with the provisions of the amended By-law.
  • The occupancy limit of two (2) persons per bedroom would remain, however if an applicant can provide sufficient evidence that their septic system is properly equipped to service more than this amount, the Township may increase the maximum occupancy for the Short Term Rental Accommodation on the issued license.

  While these changes are underway, the Township continues to work with their service provider to ensure a successful launch of the online application portal as soon as possible. An additional update will be provided when the online application portal is open and license applications are being accepted.
