To operate a short term rental on WFN land, two things are required:
- A property zoned to allow “Short Term Rentals” - if the lot is not zoned to allow this, then an application for rezoning needs to be made through WFN's Planning department.
- A business license.
There are only a few properties already zoned to allow for short term rentals on WFN Lands (e.g. Copper Sky and Shelter Bay). WFN requires a rezoning application to ensure the health & safety of occupants and to check that parking on-site can be provided.
WFN operates on a complaint-basis currently for short term rentals operating without a license.
