Regulation

  • Business License Law
  • Short Term Rentals
    To operate a short term rental on WFN land,  two things are required:
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
