The new Provincial Regulations for short-term rental and tourist accommodations requires proof of compliance documentation from your Municipality, in this case the Town of Lunenburg, to accompany your application. Please note the following documentation, provided together, meets the Town of Lunenburg’s requirements to show proof of compliance:
- A Development Permit to authorize the short-term rental use on your property. If you have previously applied for and obtained a Development Permit for short-term rental or tourist accommodation, you will not need to re-apply, but will still need to provide a copy when you register with the Province; and
- A Zoning Confirmation Letter to confirm that short-term rentals are permitted in your zone.
Please complete a pdfHeritage Development Encroachment Application Form (330 KB) . Return the completed form, along with a floorplan sketch of the general layout of the building for all floors, clearly showing which unit will be the short-term rental, to permits@townoflunenburg.ca or in person to Town Hall. Development Permits are free. Include with it a written request for the Zoning Confirmation Letter. The fee for a Zoning Confirmation Letter is $60.90, which can be paid via one of the Town’s pdfacceptable payment methods (125 KB) .
As we anticipate receiving a large volume of applications, please ensure that you have allowed adequate time to obtain your documents before the provincial registration deadline.
