Public service announcement 

Beginning July 15, 2022, short-term rental owners in Milton must obtain a license from the Town of Milton.

Short-term rentals have become a fast growing industry in the last few years and there has been a rise in the number of short-term rentals operating within the community. As a result of the short-term rentals study that took place throughout the past year, Milton Council approved a short-term rentals licensing by-law and zoning by-law amendments at its meeting on June 20, 2022.

The step-by-step process on how to apply for a license can be found on our website.
