Town of Ajax
A 5% accommodation tax and a guest limit. The Town is still writing the rest.
- Accommodation tax
5% on stays of 28 nights or fewer, in force since 1 April 2025. Hosts collect it.
- Guest limit
Two guests per bedroom plus two more, to a most of twelve (By-law 85-2026).
- Licence
We found no Town licence for short-term rentals. Council has asked for a framework, and the wording is still settling.
Which homes qualify, and for how many nights, depends on the home and how you use it. We go through that with you for your address.
