Your principal residence and the City licence
The City of Kamloops permits short-term rentals within a room or dwelling unit on a property that is the owner's principal residence, and it asks for proof of ownership and residence. The Province's principal residence requirement also applies in Kamloops, and provincial registration depends on following the City's zoning and business licence bylaws.
A City business licence is required for stays under 30 days, and also for monthly rentals under 90 days that are advertised on a short-term rental platform. The licence number goes on every listing, and the City can ask a platform to remove a listing that does not comply. We can help you prepare the application and keep the listing details right.
Suite, inspection, neighbours and strata
The City inspects the rental space to confirm it meets the rules and that there is no illegal suite on the property. A suite counts as legal when it was built or upgraded under a building permit; otherwise it must be legalized or decommissioned, and suite legalization can mean renovation work. Short-term rental is not permitted where the property has more than a single suite, alongside a home-based daycare or residential care home, or with a home business that receives clients.
Every host signs a good neighbour agreement as a condition of the licence. In a strata development, the strata corporation must approve, and strata bylaws can limit or ban short-term rentals. The City's guide also points to zoning, floodplain and other technical checks through a Property Report, so bring that report to your review.
Guests, household size and a single booking
The City allows a single short-term booking at a time in any unit on the lot. How many guests you can host depends on who lives in the home long term, including family members, boarders and lodgers. The City sets a limit on unrelated people in the home and a separate, lower allowance for guests and lodgers when a larger family lives there. Read the household definition in the Zoning Bylaw for your situation: we do not reduce it to a single number.
Tourism Kamloops describes a city where two rivers meet, with Riverside Park, year-round trails, golf and wineries. Because you live on the property, your guest guide should be clear about which entrance guests use, where they park and how they keep noise down under your good neighbour agreement. A nearby trail is a reason to write a better guest guide; it does not establish what your home will earn.
Your dates, fee and agreement
Decide which dates stay for you and which can be offered to guests. The management fee is 22% per booking, with property insurance included. Your written agreement sets out the calculation, additional costs, insurance details and the work covered. See how the fee works.
