Marketing Levy Portal
- Published: September 8, 2025
The Municipality of the District of Argyle has enacted the Short Term Accommodation Marketing Levy By-law, requiring a 3% marketing levy on all stays of 30 days or less at registered accommodations. This bylaw took effect on May 1, 2025.
The levy supports local tourism promotion and development, with all funds directed to the Yarmouth & Acadian Shores Tourism Association to help attract more visitors and grow our region’s economy.
To make the process simple, the Municipality has partnered with the Ontario Restaurant Hotel & Motel Association (ORHMA), a trusted leader in levy administration across Canada. ORHMA provides the online platform where operators can submit their monthly levy reports.
