Did you know that you must have a permit to rent your cottage?
Here's how to get a Quebec Tourism Industry Corporation (CITQ) number for my rental cottage?
Here are the steps to follow:
- Check if your business meets the CITQ classification criteria. To do this, go to the CITQ website and consult the classification standards.
- If your company meets the criteria, create an account on the CITQ website and complete the classification request form.
- Attach the required documents to your application, such as photos of your business and a copy of proof of ownership or tenancy.
- Send your request and wait for the CITQ's response. If your business is approved, you will receive your CITQ number and you can start carrying out your tourist activity.
WARNING
The application procedure changed in 2022 and you must now take the steps yourself with the municipality so that it provides you with theNotice of compliance with municipal regulations.
However, the CITQ Number is useful for tourism businesses, as it is often required by online booking platforms and can be used as a quality indicator for potential customers.
In addition, the sign must be displayed legibly.
Also be aware that if your company does not comply, it is exposed to financial consequences.
It is important to note that the CITQ is an independent organization.
For more details, you can refer to the tourist accommodation law.
