Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: 2026 S-40: Supplement contains: Local legislation current through Ordinance 2026-O-007, passed 2-17-2026, Resolution 2018-R-077, passed 10-2-18, and State legislation current through 2010 Pamphlet No. 7).
Full Breakdown
Section 129J.03(G) sets the annual fee for a short-term/vacation rental license at $50.00, payable as part of the application process laid out earlier in the same section. That application requires a written registration statement, a signed affidavit agreeing to abide by the chapter's rules, and the primary-residence showing under § 129J.03(C). Renewal under § 129J.03(F) is handled through the Village Clerk or a designee, but only if the previously issued license was not revoked or suspended and the rental received no citations from a village inspector or police officer during the prior calendar year; every renewal application must also satisfy the operating standards in § 129J.04. The $50.00 licensing fee is separate from, and in addition to, any other Village ordinance requirements or fees that apply to the property or its use, since § 129J.04(B) states that the chapter's conditions are minimum standards layered on top of other applicable Village requirements.
Violations & Fines
Operating a short-term/vacation rental with a lapsed license because the $50.00 renewal fee or application was not filed is a violation of § 129J.02's license requirement. Fines under § 129J.99 run $200 for a first violation, $500 for a second, and $750 for a third or subsequent violation, and a license can also be denied or not renewed if the prior year drew citations.
