Airbnb regulations in Sainte-Adèle: what's allowed in 2026

PERMITTED by zoning by-law in specific zones named in the municipal code, no individual permission required. In Sainte-Adèle, tourism residence (Airbnb / Vrbo) is expressly authorized by zoning by-law 1314-2010-Z in zones named on pages 250, 411 and 429 — no derogation, no individual application, no minimum-stay condition beyond what the rental contract sets. Project Heritage sits in one of these zones.

Since September 1, 2023, Quebec's Loi 67 requires every Airbnb / Vrbo / short-term-rental operator to hold a CITQ classification number and display it on every listing. The 3.5 % accommodation tax on the occupancy rate is collected by the operator and remitted to Revenu Québec. Annual revenue above CAD $30,000 triggers GST / QST registration.

Yes. Sainte-Adèle's zoning by-law (number 1314-2010-Z) expressly authorizes tourism-residence use in zones designated on pages 250, 411 and 429. No individual application is required for lots within these zones — the municipality itself writes the use into the code. All Project Heritage lots sit in one of these authorized zones.

Beyond the provincial Loi 67 rules (mandatory CITQ number, 3.5 % accommodation tax, STR insurance), the city requires general standards on noise, parking and occupancy capacity. It does not set a minimum-stay duration or annual cap on nights inside the authorized zones — which is what makes the Sainte-Adèle by-law unusually permissive for Quebec.

Zoning by-law no 1314-2010-Z, pages 250, 411 and 429 (current consolidation available on the Ville de Sainte-Adèle website, Règlements municipaux section). This is the by-law that writes tourism-residence use directly into the zoning code — it has been in force since 2010 and reconfirmed in subsequent revisions.
