City of Pickering
The City is still finishing its short-term rental rules. A licence has been proposed.
- Licence
The City has consulted on a short-term rental licence. We found no fee and no confirmation that it has been adopted.
- Accommodation tax
4% on hotels since 1 June 2025. The City said short-term rentals will be covered once its by-law is adopted.
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.
