⚠ The City fee is non-refundable

Don’t pay the City $390 to find out you’ll be denied.

Run our free 5-minute pre-submission check. We mirror the City of Toronto’s actual STR registration form and flag denial risks before you submit — including the ones the City won’t tell you about until after you’ve paid.

Built specifically for Toronto. Mirrors the City’s real STR registration wizard. Backed by PRP’s proprietary compliance intelligence.
Why this matters

The City takes your fee whether they approve you or not.

Toronto’s registration system is unforgiving. If your application has issues — wrong principal residence, ID-address mismatch, building restrictions, an existing permit at the address — the City rejects, keeps the fee, and you’re back to square one. We’ve built the only pre-screen that catches these before you submit.

1

Mirrors the City’s actual form

Same questions, same flow, same wording. Going through our check feels like going through the City’s — without the cost.

2

Catches what the City doesn’t tell you

The City rejects without explaining. We flag denial risks during your check so you can fix them before paying anything.

3

PRP intelligence layer

Our private compliance database catches issues that look fine on paper but that we know — from records the public can’t access — will get rejected.

How it works

Five minutes. One outcome you can act on.

No long setup, no payment up front. You answer the same questions the City would ask. We tell you whether your application is likely to pass — and if not, why and what to do about it.

1

Tell us your situation

One question: planning to apply, or already operating? We tailor the check to your situation.

2

Answer the City’s questions

Our form mirrors the City’s STR registration. Same fields, same structure.

3

We run the check

Our rules engine + private compliance data flag any denial-risk signals.

4

Get a clear result

We tell you whether you’re likely to pass — and walk you through what to do next.

What we catch

The most common reasons applications get denied — before you submit.

Specifics are reserved for your consultation. But here are the categories of risk we screen for on every application.

!

Principal residence eligibility

The single most common cause of denied STR registrations. We flag whether your situation lines up with what the City requires.

!

Building-level restrictions

Even if the City approves your registration, your building can independently shut you down. We check against our private compliance database for buildings with known restrictions.

!

Address-level conflicts

Existing permits or recent revocations at the same address can block your application. We surface these from the City’s open data.

!

ID-address mismatches

Your government ID has to match the property — exactly. We help you spot this before the City does and rejects you.

!

Bedroom math, partial-unit, secondary suites

The City has specific rules about how many rooms you can rent, what counts as a “unit,” and which configurations need extra zoning scrutiny.

!

Previous denials or revocations

The City enforces a 12-month bar on re-registration after revocation. We flag this so you don’t waste time on an application that can’t succeed.

Your privacy

What we don’t do.

Trust matters in compliance. Here’s what we explicitly won’t do with your information.

✓ What PRP does NOT collect or do

  • We do not collect or store images of your government ID.
  • We do not ask for your driver’s licence number, photo card number, or expiry date.
  • We do not transmit anything to the City of Toronto on your behalf — you submit when you’re ready.
  • We do not sell your data, ever.
FAQ

Common questions

Is this really free?

Yes. The pre-submission check itself costs nothing. If our system identifies issues, we’ll offer a 15-minute consultation where a PRP specialist explains the specifics and helps you address them before you commit. Booking that call is your choice.

Will you submit my registration to the City?

No — never automatically. We are a pre-screen. You submit your application directly with the City of Toronto when you’re ready. Our job is to make sure that when you do, it has the best possible chance of being approved.

What happens after I run the check?

If your application looks compliant, we email you a strategy memo within one business day with best-practice tips for a smooth City submission. If we identify potential issues, we’ll route you to a PRP specialist to walk through them.

I already have a permit. Can this still help me?

Yes. After you start the check, you’ll be asked whether you already have a permit. If you do, we run a different (shorter) check that looks at your existing operation’s compliance status, optimization opportunities, and risk indicators — useful for keeping your permit healthy and your bookings flowing.

Why should I trust your “intelligence layer”?

PRP works exclusively in Toronto STR compliance. Over time we’ve compiled records on building-level restrictions, common rejection patterns, and historical permit data that aren’t in any single public database. That’s what powers our pre-screen — it sees what individual applicants can’t.

How is this different from just reading the City’s website?

The City’s website tells you what the rules are. Our system applies those rules to your specific situation in real time, plus checks your address against data sources the City’s own application form doesn’t reference. The result: a personalized risk assessment, not a generic checklist.
