To host an Airbnb in the Village of Pentwater, you must first apply for an annual license from the Village Clerk and pay a $500 registration fee. Your property will need to pass a safety inspection, including checks for egress windows and smoke alarms, before you can begin hosting. You are responsible for collecting and remitting the 5% Oceana County Accommodations Tax yourself, as platforms typically do not handle this specific local tax. Licenses expire on December 31st each year and must be renewed by that date to avoid a $250 late penalty.
