Health Inspections
Restaurants and Lodgings
Vilas County Public Health Department has assumed the responsibility of restaurant and lodging inspections from the States Northern Regional Office. Inspections are performed once a year, during the fiscal year between July 1 to June 30 of the following year.
Smaller lodging facilities (1 to 4 sleeping rooms licensed as LTR, as well as 5-30 sleeping rooms licensed as LH1) will be inspected by University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh Interns who have been trained appropriately. Larger lodging facililties of over 31 sleeping rooms will be inspected by the Vilas County Environmental Health Specialist.
The Vilas County Environmental Health Specialist will inspect all campgrounds and recreational camps, all restaurants and all schools. Schools are inspected twice each year.
Licenses
If you are renting out your home (private or vacation), or serving food to the public, you need to be licensed by the state. Rates vary due to the complexity of the facility. Starting in 2010 all persons operating a public facility without a license will be subject to a $750.00 fine.
