Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia

Stand-alone short term rentals are area restricted; resident-occupied secondary rentals follow a separate local pathway.

• •Radium Hot Springs is exempt from BC's provincial principal-residence requirement. That exemption does not override municipal zoning, licensing, resident-occupancy conditions or applicable provincial registration requirements.
• •Business Licence Bylaw No. 529, 2026 limits new stand-alone rentals to the permitted areas in its Schedule A map. Check the address against the current zoning and mapped areas rather than assuming village-wide permission.
• •Qualifying stand-alone rentals licensed outside those areas when Bylaw No. 529 was adopted may renew annually until October 15, 2032. Missing a renewal or changing ownership, including a corporate board change, ends that pathway.
• •The secondary-use route requires an owner or long-term tenant to live on the parcel as their principal residence. Zoning limits this route to one rental unit per parcel and excludes residential buildings with three or more units.
• •An annual municipal licence is required, with safety attestation, strata confirmation where applicable, licence-number display in marketing and a 24-hour contact able to respond to noise complaints within 30 minutes.
• •The local STR definition covers vacation or travel accommodation for fewer than 90 consecutive days. Confirm the property's category, permissions and any grandfathering conditions with the Village before relying on an existing listing or licence.
