Loi 67 (Tourist Accommodation Act)

Also known as: Quebec Tourist Accommodation Act · Quebec short-term rental law · Bill 67

Loi 67 (the Tourist Accommodation Act), passed by Quebec's National Assembly and in force since 2023, governs every rental of less than 31 days in the province. It makes CITQ registration mandatory, requires the number to be displayed on every listing, and gives Revenu Québec and municipalities the power to flag or fine non-compliant listings.

Loi 67 replaces the 2002 Act respecting tourist accommodation establishments. It introduces two major changes: (1) platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking) must verify and remove listings without a CITQ, and (2) the scope now covers every principal residence rented more than a few nights per year.

Municipalities keep zoning authority: Montreal, Mont-Tremblant, Saint-Sauveur, and Bromont (among others) have stricter local rules — some ban principal-residence short-term rentals in certain neighborhoods, others require a municipal permit on top of the CITQ.

For an operator: obtain the CITQ, display the number, collect the lodging tax, declare the income to Revenu Québec, and comply with the municipality's zoning bylaw. Reserver.ca supports its partners across all four.

Frequently asked questions

Who is subject to Loi 67?
Any person or business that rents an accommodation (cottage, condo, house, room) for stays of less than 31 days in Quebec, directly or via a platform like Airbnb. No exception for principal residences since 2023.
Does Loi 67 apply to long-term rentals?
No. Residential leases of 31 days or more are governed by Quebec's Civil Code and the Tribunal administratif du logement, not Loi 67.
