Fernie city council has approved an increase to annual short-term rental business license fees.
The previous cost was $100 per year, and it is now up to $500 for a Principal Residence STR and $700 for condo hotel licenses.
Mayor Nic Milligan says this puts them more in line with what the RDEK has done with STR fees.
“We see a lot of STRs at the ski hill, of course, and in the surrounding community, so it feels like aligning closer to the Regional District of East Kootenay is a clear outcome here,” said Milligan.
A change to regular business license fees is also coming.
