How do I rent my house as a vacation rental? You need to start the process with the Oneida County Planning & Zoning Office's Administrative Review Tourist Rooming House application. You can rent your dwelling as a vacation rental for no less than seven (7) days in most cases. You must complete the application, designate your Resident Agent, and pay the $250.00 fee. The application will then be sent to the Town of Three Lakes for review by the Plan Commission, and then sent back to the Oneida County Planning & Zoning office. If the Plan Commission has a need for the Town Board to review the application, it will go to them prior to returning to Oneida County. Keep in mind you will also need to be inspected by the Oneida County Health Department, set up your Accommodations Tax account with the Three Lakes Treasurer, and set up your state sales tax account. The entire process takes time, as the Plan Commission meets once a month. The Tourist Rooming House application can be found HERE.
