The rules, source by source
-
Registration (municipal zoning confirmation + CITQ)
Mont-Tremblant only permits résidence de tourisme (short-term rental) use in zones already zoned for it. A host must first confirm with the city's Urban Planning Service that their zone and dwelling type (only detached single-family homes qualify) allow the use and obtain a change-of-use confirmation, then register the establishment with Québec's CITQ before listing.

Number display
The CITQ registration number — ⚠ AND, where applicable, the NAME of the establishment — must appear distinctly in ANY advertising used to promote it; the province specifies every social medium and every website, transactional or not, so it is not limited to the big platforms. Failing to display them draws $1,000–$10,000 for a natural person ($2,000–$20,000 otherwise). Displaying a false, inexact, expired, suspended or cancelled number is a separate and more serious offence at $2,500–$25,000 ($5,000–$50,000 otherwise). ⚠ A THIRD, EASILY-MISSED DUTY: where the advertising is VERBAL, or where one advertisement covers SEVERAL establishments run by the same person, you must state that the establishment is registered under the Tourist Accommodation Act — $1,000–$10,000 ($2,000–$20,000 otherwise).

Eligibility — zoning first, and ONLY unifamilial isolé
⚠ ZONING DECIDES BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, and the building type is a hard gate: Mont-Tremblant authorises résidence de tourisme only for a UNIFAMILIAL ISOLÉ — a building with a single dwelling, on its own lot, detached from any other main building. The City states plainly that if your home is not of that type, "la réglementation n'autorise pas l'usage de résidence de tourisme sur votre propriété" — there is no permit that fixes it. ⚠ Which zones qualify is governed by RÈGLEMENTS INTÉRIMAIRES (RCI) that can move, so the City tells you to confirm the authorised zone with the Service de l'urbanisme rather than rely on a map. Only after that do you check whether a certificat de changement d'usage is needed, then register with the CITQ, then obtain the municipal avis de conformité the CITQ requires.

Fees (provincial CITQ layer)
The CITQ registration/renewal fee, which applies to any Québec short-term rental including Mont-Tremblant, is $54/year for a résidence principale establishment and $156/year for a general tourism-accommodation establishment, both effective January 1, 2026. Mont-Tremblant's own municipal change-of-use confirmation step does not have a published fee on the city pages read.

Certificate display & transmission (provincial CITQ layer)
Two duties attach to the registration CERTIFICATE itself, separate from displaying the number in advertising. ⚠ AT THE PREMISES: the certificate must be displayed in view of the tourist clientele at the establishment's main entrance — failing to do so draws $1,000–$10,000 for a natural person, or $2,000–$20,000 otherwise. ⚠ TO THE PLATFORM: you must transmit your registration certificate to the operator of any digital platform on which you offer the establishment for rent, on the same fine tiers. Both are province-wide under the Loi sur l'hébergement touristique and apply on top of any municipal requirement.

Fines & penalties (provincial CITQ layer)
Québec's Loi sur l'hébergement touristique sets fines, applicable in Mont-Tremblant as everywhere in the province, of $2,500-$25,000 (natural person) or $5,000-$50,000 (entity) for offering tourist accommodation without a CITQ registration certificate, and $1,000-$10,000 (natural person) or $2,000-$20,000 (entity) for failing to display the registration number in advertising.

Insurance (provincial CITQ layer)
Under Québec's Loi sur l'hébergement touristique, a registered tourist-accommodation establishment must hold — and keep in force — civil liability insurance of at least $2,000,000 per event, covering bodily or material injury caused in the course of operating the establishment; failing to hold or maintain it draws a fine of $1,000–$10,000 (natural person) or $2,000–$20,000 (legal person). Québec's registration duty itself covers principal AND secondary residences, and the province states this penalty without naming any exemption on the pages we monitor — so treat the requirement as applying to you and confirm your establishment class with the CITQ if unsure. Province-wide, separate from any municipal rule.

Interim control by-law (RCI) — verify your zone first
Mont-Tremblant now points hosts to INTERIM CONTROL BY-LAWS (règlements intérimaires / RCI) as the instrument thatdetermines where résidence de tourisme use is allowed: the City states that « en raison de l'entrée en vigueur de règlements intérimaires », you must obtain confirmation from the Service de l'urbanisme as to where the use is authorized, and it directs you to check the City's CARTOGRAPHIC TOOL before taking any step. ⚠ WHY THIS MATTERS: an interim control by-law can change which zones permit the use, so a zone that allowed résidence de tourisme previously may no longer — do not rely on an earlier confirmation. The page also now states the permitted dwelling type EN VERTU DU RCI: unifamilial isolé (a building containing a single dwelling, on its own lot, detached from any other main building); if your home is not of that type, the regulation does not authorize résidence de tourisme use on your property. We cannot cite an in-force DATE for the RCI from this page — confirm the current state with the Service de l'urbanisme.

Registration renewal — the 60-day provincial window
⚠ THE WINDOW OPENS, IT DOESN'T ONLY CLOSE: Québec's Tourist Accommodation Regulation requires the renewal application to be sent WITHIN THE 60 DAYS PRECEDING the date your registration ends — so you cannot file it early, and nothing suggests a grace period after. The renewal must also be accompanied by a declaration UPDATING your accommodation offering and the related activities and services, not a repeat of last year's file. (Different fixed windows apply to outfitting operations, 1 February to 31 March, and to camping grounds and trailer parks, 1 September to 31 October; neither applies to a principal-residence establishment.)
