Second Home Study

We appreciate the time you're taking to learn more about the Second Home Survey.

Given the significance of the second home population and your contribution to Muskoka’s culture, economy and social structure, the District of Muskoka periodically conducts an anonymous survey to capture important information about you and your Second Home.

This survey informs Muskoka District Council on how second home households are used, how they may be used in the future, your individual needs and how you participate in the local economy.

Muskoka District Council works hard to shape our communities to best meet the changing needs of all residents, and this survey is an essential tool to ensure we understand what is important to you.

The outcomes of the survey also informs a variety of community organizations and our six Area Municipalities (Muskoka Lakes, Gravenhurst, Bracebridge, Huntsville, Lake of Bays and Georgian Bay) about how we can deliver services to suit everyone’s unique needs.

The Second Home Survey is intended to be completed only once, per second home household. We would appreciate one representative, on behalf of all who use the home, to complete this survey. 

Only one Survey is to be submitted per household.
