Short answer — **LARGELY RESTRICTED**: short-term rental is generally permitted only in narrowly defined commercial or recreational-tourism zones; standard residential zones prohibit the use.
Quebec province-wide rules — applicable everywhere
- CITQ registration mandatory since September 1, 2023 (Loi 67): every operator must obtain a classification number from the Corporation de l'industrie touristique du Québec and display it on every listing. Operating without a CITQ number is illegal and subject to fines of $2,500–$25,000 per day.
- 3.5 % accommodation tax on the occupancy rate, collected by the operator and remitted to Revenu Québec.
- GST / QST: if your annual revenue exceeds CAD $30,000 you must register and charge taxes (5 % + 9.975 %).
- STR-specific home insurance is required by most municipalities and mandatory to keep coverage if a claim is tied to paid stays.
