At the June 7 council meeting council received the 7th report on Short Term Accommodations (STA). There is still no clear policy in Innisfil on STA’s. For noise complaints, the By-Law officer issues an order, a secondary order and then they proceed to charges. The By-Law officer has no right of entry to the home. The statistics according to the Town indicate a 93% compliance rate after the first order. The large majority of people come into compliance without charges. There are two files going to court in Innisfil that take many months to get to court. If you have noise complaints contact Customer Service and after hours press Option 5.
The Town is looking to other municipalities for ideas such as licencing, penalties and or more by-law officers. The Town of Blue Mountains, Tiny Township, Prince Edward County and Ramara have licensing of STA’s. In Tiny Township both the “Responsible Property Renters” and those opposing STA’s are appealing licensing of STA’s to the Land Tribunal.
