The Short-Term Rental Accommodation program was initiated by the Town to ensure all rentals operate safely, in accordance with the Fire Protection Standards and the Ontario Building Code. Residents and property owners who wish to rent out rooms or entire units for a period of 28 days or less, are asked to obtain a licence at Huntsville.ca/STRentals.

    If the property is no longer being used for short-term rental then all advertising must be removed and a quick email to building@huntsville.ca would be appreciated.

    Hello; I need to know whether or not I need to collect the 4% MAT on cleaning fees as well as the room rental. Thank you.

    Thank you for the question, the 4% is to be applied to only the room rental amount. Items that are charged separately such as internet, parking or cleaning would be itemized separately and the 4% would not be charged on those items.

    When do we begin to collect MAT?

    Joann asked over 3 years ago

    Thank you for your question, the Town requires Short-Term Rental Accommodation hosts to charge and collect the 4% MAT on a guests stay on all bookings moving forward if you have not already been doing so. A representative from ORHMA will be in touch with you in the coming weeks to discuss the collection and remittance process.
