Step 2: the plan
How we handle Parry Sound and Seguin
- Check zoning before anything. With no licence program, the zoning by-law is what decides whether short stays are allowed on your lot. We check it with you first.
- Run it like a licensed rental anyway. We keep working alarms and extinguishers, a written garbage plan, clear parking and quiet hours, and a responsible person nearby. If Seguin passes licensing, you are ready.
- Watch Seguin council. The 2025 draft floated a cap and a 92-day limit. If something like that passes, applying early and having a clean record will matter. We track it and will tell you.
- Four-season calendar. Hot tubs and winter-ready cabins rent well here year-round, so we price winter and shoulder weekends, not just summer.

Owner FAQ
Do I need a licence to rent in Parry Sound?
We found no short-term rental licence in the Town of Parry Sound or Seguin Township as of today. Zoning still applies, and Seguin is studying a licence program.
How long can I rent for?
No STR night limit is in force on the pages we checked. A 2025 Seguin draft suggested 92 days a year, but it has not been adopted.
What insurance do I need?
Owners need insurance that covers short-term rental use. Tell your insurer the home is rented to guests and ask for a policy or rider written for short-term rentals. A standard home or cottage policy may not cover rental use.
What does it cost the town way?
No STR licence fee or MAT is listed today.
