Development in Peggy's Cove
Lot development requirements can vary depending on factors which include road frontage, lot size, permitted land uses, previously existing development rights, and lot features such as grade and slope. Landowners considering development in the Preservation Area must first refer to the Peggy's Cove Land Use Bylaw to ensure their lot and proposed development meets the necessary zoning requirements to be eligible for a development permit from the HRM.
The Peggy's Cove Commission Development Permit application process is now handled by Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM).
Short-term Rentals (STR)
By law, short-term accommodations must register to operate in Nova Scotia if they provide accommodations for 28 days in a row or less. For example, if you provide accommodations for a few days (or a few weeks) at a time, you need to register.
