Renting out your principal residence in Mont-Tremblant: allowed in some zones only
No municipal text online specifies the current rule for the principal residence. In 2022, the press reported that the City limited the rental of the principal residence to the same zones as the tourist residence; the 2025 interim control by-law covers the tourist residence. The City asks that the use be confirmed by the Urban Planning Department before any project.
Buying to rent year-round in Mont-Tremblant: 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 is possible only in certain zones (City's interactive map) and only in a detached single-family building (a single dwelling) on a separate lot; the regulations do not authorize it for other types of buildings. Interim control by-laws are in force: the City asks that you confirm with the Urban Planning Department before any project.
The by-law in Mont-Tremblant
- By-law: Zoning by-law (2008)-102; interim control by-law (2025)-234 concerning light accommodation businesses (tourist residence), amended by by-law (2025)-234-1 adopted on June 9, 2025 and in force since the publication of the notice of June 18, 2025.
- Municipal permit or certificate: Change of use certificate (fee charged, rate not indicated) to be checked with urban planning, then the municipal compliance notice required by the CITQ; the tourist residence is taxed as an accommodation business (separate tax rate).
- Recent change: 2025: adoption of an interim control by-law on light accommodation businesses (tourist residence), (2025)-234, amended on June 9, 2025 by (2025)-234-1. Its text is not published online: the City asks that the Urban Planning Department confirm, before any project, that the use is authorized on the property in question.

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 Mont-Tremblant
- The zone of the address, not the city. In Mont-Tremblant 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.
