Hawkesbury/East Hawkesbury Short Term Rental Rules and Regulations

As of January 1st 2023, the township of Hawkesbury does not require a license to operate a short term rental.

As a property manager, we are constantly updating our team on local regulatory changes in regards to short-term rentals and licensing. If the township of Hawkesbury introduces a regulatory by-law requiring licenses for short-term rentals, our team will address this immediately.
