Short-Term Rental Policy in Vancouver

Can I Airbnb my unit at Ansoku? Vancouver’s short-term rental bylaws restrict STR listings to principal residences only. Operators must obtain an annual business license costing $1,060 (non-refundable) and display both the City license and Provincial registration number on all listings.

As of May 1, 2025, British Columbia requires all STR hosts to register provincially. Platforms like Airbnb and VRBO must remove unregistered listings starting June 2, 2025. Penalties for operating without proper licensing reach up to $50,000 per violation. Secondary properties, investment units, and vacation homes do not qualify for short-term rental licensing in Vancouver.

Strata Fees for Ansoku

Projected operating costs average $0.20 per sq ft per month. These strata fees in British Columbia cover building insurance, property management, common area maintenance, and reserve fund contributions. For a 1,500 SF townhome, monthly strata fees equal approximately $300.

Ansoku’s boutique scale and limited shared amenities contribute to lower maintenance costs compared to larger condo developments. Final strata fee schedules will be confirmed in the disclosure statement prior to completion and may vary based on actual operating expenses.
