In his report, Nagy noted that there were 201 licensed short-term rentals in Huntsville and 54 applications were under review. Of the 201 registered STRs, many of which are advertised on sites like Airbnb and Vrbo, 174 were remitting the Municipal Accommodation Tax (Mat) totalling $274,571 (unaudited) dollars, and staff are working on getting the remainder to remit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Finance Staff are continuing to work with property owners to ensure all properties are up to date on their reporting and remitting. It should be noted that there are tools through our AMP (Administrative Monetary Penalty) program to encourage compliance should an owner choose not to remit,&#8221; according to Nagy&#8217;s report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also noted an expected program surplus of about $171,683 (unaudited) at the end of 2022, which will be transferred to the STR Program Reserve. &#8220;This will bring the total reserve to approximately $364,769.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staff are also working on getting the STRA application up on the Cloudpermit software. It is expected to be up and running sometime during the first quarter of 2023. &#8220;Through the Cloudpermit licensing application, staff have set up reminders for license holders and staff for each quarter that the tax needs to be remitted. This information will be reviewed and verified by STRA staff prior to the renewal of any existing applications,&#8221; added Nagy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His report also noted that staff plan to follow up again in March with non-complying property owners and any remaining properties that have not complied will be sent a $1,500 fine. After that, &#8220;should there be properties that remain non-compliant staff will begin Part 3 (Provincial Court) enforcement.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nagy also noted that staff will continue to educate the public on the program and attend events such as lake association meetings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The municipality has also created a short-term rental accommodation map of Huntsville, which includes a list of active properties along with the property managers&#8217; contact information. &#8220;This has significantly decreased the number of phone calls received and is utilized by the real estate industry as well as the public,&#8221; added Nagy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find more information about the program and the short-term rental accommodation map, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huntsville.ca\/en\/home-property-and-planning\/short-term-accommodation-rentals.aspx\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huntsville&#8217;s short-term rental accommodation (STRA) licensing program has become self-sustaining, noted Huntsville Chief Building Official Christopher Nagy at a General Committee meeting on March 1.
