The short answer
We found no municipal restriction on renting out a principal residence in L'Île-Perrot; buying a unit to rent it on Airbnb year-round (tourist residence) is possible only in specific zones. To buy, count on $561,500 for a house and $404,500 for a condo at the 2026 median price (Centris).
Renting out your principal residence in L'Île-Perrot: no municipal restriction found
We found no restriction adopted by the city on renting out a principal residence. The new zoning by-law 746 (in force November 14, 2025, compilation of April 21, 2026) does not mention the principal residence establishment: its closed list of additional uses to housing (room rental, foster family, home daycare, office, intergenerational dwelling, additional dwelling, private school) does not name it, and the by-law on permits and certificates 677 does not mention it either. No referendum procedure concerning the principal residence establishment was found; the provincial rule (s. 23 of the Tourist Accommodation Act) applies.
By default, Quebec law prevents a municipal by-law from prohibiting the rental of a principal residence unless it was adopted under the adapted referendum procedure (s. 23). Before counting on it, have the zone of the address confirmed by the planning department: it issues the zoning compliance document required for registration.
Buying to rent year-round in L'Île-Perrot: only in some zones
A unit that is not your principal residence, rented by the night or the week all year, is a "tourist residence". The law does not protect it: the city decides through its zoning where it is allowed.
The “tourist residence (furnished and equipped for meals)” (use 5834) belongs to subclass C6-01 Accommodation Service, in class c6 Restaurant and Accommodation Services. Based on a reading of the grids in Schedule B, class c6 is checked only in commercial designation zones (C-18, C-25, C-27, C-31, C-34, C-35, C-38 and C-67); in zone C-18, uses 5833 and 5834 are among the specifically excluded uses, and in zone C-34 use 5834 is among the specifically permitted uses.

Quebec's rules, the same everywhere
- Registration is mandatory. Renting a unit to tourists for 31 days or less requires registration with the Ministère du Tourisme and a certificate renewed every year: $54 for a principal residence establishment, $156 for a general tourist accommodation establishment (tourist residence). Since April 9, 2026, the number must appear in every listing, social media included.
- The city decides where. The registration application must include a document from the municipality confirming that the use complies with its zoning (Tourist Accommodation Act, s. 5). A notice of non-compliance prevents the application from being filed.
- The principal residence is protected, but not without limits. Since March 25, 2023, a municipal by-law can prohibit renting out a principal residence only through a zoning amendment adopted under an adapted referendum procedure (s. 23). Several cities have done it, zone by zone.
- Principal residence means where you actually live. It is the address you give to most government departments and bodies. Since September 1, 2026, two proofs of principal residence are required at registration and at renewal.
- In a condo, the syndicate signs every year. You need the declaration of co-ownership allowing the operation or the syndicate's authorization, and since September 1, 2026 that consent is required at every renewal, not only the first time.
- Registration does not transfer. A seller's Airbnb income was earned under their file. The buyer starts over, under the rules in force on the day of the application.

Before making an offer in L'Île-Perrot
- The zone of the address, not the city. In L'Île-Perrot as elsewhere, the rule changes from one zone to the next. Ask the planning department for the exact zone and the use grid, or for the zoning compliance notice, before the offer.
- The declaration of co-ownership. For a condo, read the clause on rentals and the building's destination: a syndicate can refuse, and must now consent at every renewal.
- The seller's certificate. If the seller already operates, ask for the registration certificate (class, expiry date, number of units), not just the number. It will not be transferred to you.
- The return without Airbnb. Price the property as if short-term rental became impossible tomorrow: it is the only assumption that does not depend on a by-law or a syndicate vote. Our five checks before buying to rent short-term set out the order.
