Prince George city council will be repealing the bylaw that charged a fee for secondary suites.
The bylaw required owners of secondary suites to pay a business licence fee for each suite and city staff say they are working on changing the bylaw based on feedback from building owners.
The vote was split 5 to 4, with Mayor Shari Green sitting on the un-supportive side.
She says there is already $186,000 collected from owners and now council must decide what to do with it.

The repeal must be brought into effect over three meetings, which is the same amount of time it took to put it in place, the earliest date is May 26th.
If council wants to proceed with this idea, Green says it will then take three more meetings with a new, altered plan.
