For The Home You Live In.
Regina licenses short term accommodation in your principal residence for a hundred dollars a year, and it counts a suite inside that residence as part of it. New secondary property licences are frozen until the city vacancy rate recovers.
Regina licenses short term accommodation in your principal residence unit for $100 a year, and the definition includes any suite within that residence. One licence per person, individuals only, and no more than 35 percent of the units in a multi-unit building may be licensed.
Annual Licence
Principal residence unit. A secondary property licence is $300 when they resume.
Per Person
No person may hold more than one principal residence unit licence.
Building Cap
The most units in any multi-unit building that may be licensed at once.
Vacancy Rate
New secondary property licences resume when it reaches 3 per cent.
What Regina Actually Requires
Four rules decide whether a property can operate at all. Every figure here was read off the City of Regina site and Bylaw No. 2020-70 on 15 September 2026 and is cited at the bottom of this page.
The Suite Counts As Part Of It
Regina defines a principal residence unit as the usual dwelling unit including any suite thereof, where an individual lives and conducts their daily affairs. A suite inside your principal residence is covered by the licence rather than excluded from it, which is the opposite of how several other cities read it.
Bylaw No. 2020-70
A Hundred Dollars, One Per Person
The principal residence licence is $100 a year, valid one year from the date it is issued. No person may hold more than one, and a corporation cannot hold one at all: the applicant must be an individual owner.
Licence and renewal handled under management
Thirty Five Percent Of Your Building
No more than 35 per cent of the units in a multi-unit dwelling may hold a licence. If your building is already at the cap you cannot be licensed no matter how clean your application is. Check the building before you buy the condo.
Bylaw No. 2020-70, section 26(1)
Secondary Licences Are Frozen
New secondary property licences are suspended while the Regina census metropolitan area vacancy rate sits at 2.6 per cent, and resume at 3 per cent. This is written into the bylaw. It is not a discretionary pause.
Resumes at 3 per cent vacancy
Regina In Public Data
Two figures from public registers and national statistics, both under open licences that permit this use. Neither is a revenue number.
Of the housing stock, 2021
215 of 100,430 dwellings in the Regina census metropolitan area were short term rentals that could otherwise house someone long term. This is the number the rules on this page exist because of.
Statistics Canada, 2021
Adapted from Statistics Canada, Short-term rentals in the Canadian housing market, Catalogue no. 11-621-M2024010, 2024. This does not constitute an endorsement by Statistics Canada of this product. The Statistics Canada figures are for the 2021 reference year, which is the most recent published in that study. They are a housing supply measure and not a revenue estimate, and nothing on this site estimates what a property earns.
What I Run In Regina
One team instead of three vendors pointing at each other. Twenty percent of net revenue, month to month, no onboarding fee and no monthly minimum.
Guest Communication
Fast responses, pre arrival messaging, check in support and full stay coverage, on the same clock as every property under management. You never have to answer a guest.
Turnover Management
Scheduling, quality control, laundry and staging on every reset, with photo proof filed against the property. Outside Calgary the crew is local, vetted and run to the CleanStays standard.
Issue Coordination
Maintenance, access problems and urgent requests routed to a vetted local trade and quoted before any work happens. Nothing gets done and then billed.
Listing And Rate Strategy
Photography direction, title, description and amenity strategy, plus pricing and review management. In a capped market the calendar is managed for rate, not for occupancy.
Registration And Tax Admin
Registration, annual renewal, the licence number displayed on the listing, and accommodation tax tracked and remitted. The part owners forget until the city writes to them.
What Is Different About Regina
The two things that cost the most here, and the one I will not pretend about.
The Licence Dies With The Sale
A Regina licence expires automatically on sale or lease transfer, and a principal residence licence expires if the occupant moves out. It does not convey to a buyer, which matters for what the property is worth on exit, and it is the clause most owners have never read.
Ninety Days, Then You Are A New Applicant
There is a ninety day grace period to renew. Miss it and you reapply from scratch. Under the current secondary licence freeze, letting a secondary licence lapse is close to irreversible, because a new application cannot be accepted until vacancy recovers.
Calgary Crews Do Not Drive To Regina
CleanStays and Wise Property Services are Calgary companies with Calgary crews. In Regina I manage the property and coordinate vetted local cleaning and trades against the same written standard. Said plainly here rather than implied everywhere else.
Why Guests Book Regina
This is an event market rather than a scenery market, and it books differently because of it.
Agribition
Canadian Western Agribition fills the city every November, in a month that is otherwise the deadest on the prairie calendar. An event market prices by the date, not by the season.
Wascana Centre
One of the largest urban parks in North America, wrapped around the Legislature and the lake. It is the summer anchor and it is walkable from the neighbourhoods guests search for.
The RCMP Heritage Centre
Regina is the national training academy for the RCMP, which gives the city a steady stream of graduation weekends and family travel that has nothing to do with the weather.
A Published Event Calendar
The City reports more than 170,000 event visitors across 41 events in 2025, with eight conventions and trade shows already confirmed for 2026. In this market the calendar is built around dates that are known a year out.
Regina Questions
Yes, in your principal residence unit, which Regina defines as the usual dwelling unit including any suite within it where you live and conduct your daily affairs. The licence is $100 a year, one per person, and the applicant must be an individual rather than a corporation. New secondary property licences are currently suspended.
Yes. Regina’s definition of a principal residence unit expressly includes any suite within it, so a suite inside the home you live in falls under the principal residence licence rather than being excluded from it. That is different from several British Columbia municipalities, which exclude a secondary suite outright.
The City stopped issuing new secondary short term accommodation licences because the vacancy rate in the Regina census metropolitan area is 2.6 per cent. Bylaw No. 2020-70 ties issuance to that rate, and the City states it will resume once vacancy reaches three per cent or above. It is a bylaw condition rather than a discretionary pause.
Bylaw No. 2020-70 states that no more than 35 per cent of the units within a multi-unit dwelling may hold a short term accommodation licence. If your building has already reached that share, you cannot be licensed regardless of your own eligibility. Check the building’s existing licence count before you buy a condo in Regina.
No. A Regina short term accommodation licence expires automatically on sale or lease transfer of the unit, and a principal residence licence expires if the occupant moves out. A buyer cannot assume your licence. There is a ninety day grace period on renewal, after which you are treated as a new applicant.
No. Wise Property Management is a Calgary company and it manages properties across Canada. In Regina I run the property and coordinate vetted local cleaning and trades to the same written standard used in Calgary. The in house crews, CleanStays and Wise Property Services, are Calgary only. That is said here rather than discovered later.
Twenty percent of net revenue, month to month, with no onboarding fee and no monthly minimum. Cleaning is billed to the guest as a turnover fee rather than to you, and maintenance is quoted before any work happens. The fee is the same in every market.
