Any business operating in Sun Peaks requires a business licence. This includes all short-term nightly rentals (STNR).
2025 Business licence invoices will be emailed out the last week in November.
To avoid a 10% penalty, please pay by the due date of January 31, 2025.
The invoices will be delivered by email. Please check your junk folder or email reception@sunpeaksmunicipality.ca if you do not receive your invoice.
Please note that:
The new Province of BC STNR portal and a third-party monitoring software allows us to identify any short-term nightly rentals that are being advertised on internet sites. Our bylaw enforcement will be issuing fines to any STNR advertising without a valid business licence or contrary to the terms of their business licence. To avoid being in contravention of our bylaw, please make sure you have a valid business licence and that the location is zoned to allow short-term nightly rentals.
