This guide will walk you through the process of renewing your accommodation license. It will provide instruction at each step of the process.
Before Applying - What do I need to do?
BEFORE attempting to renew your accommodation license, there are several important prerequisites to have in order.
- You Must be the Accommodation Owner or Have Signing Authority: Many accommodations hire property managers to help manage their accommodation business. However, accommodation license applications must be completed by the owner of the business. In the case of a corporation, the person applying needs to have signing authority.
- Charlottetown Accommodations: The City of Charlottetown has passed a bylaw that requires short-term rentals to acquire a license through their office. This must be attached to your Tourism PEI renewal application. For more information, visit the Charlottetown Short Term Rental FAQ Page.

With these prerequisites satisfied, you are ready to officially renew your accommodation license.
